Harworth Aldi set to reopen after revamp

The transformation is part of Aldi’s £500m investment into further improving its stores and services across the UK and features a ‘more customer-focused’ layout.

The Scrooby Road store, which will reopen on Thursday, March 18 at 8am, offers increased space and clearer signage to make shopping ‘effortless’, as well as a new and improved Food to Go section.

Fresh bread and cakes have been moved to the last aisle, preventing them getting squashed under customers’ shopping, and the store will now offer new, easy to browse freezers.

Aldi store manager Jayne Adderley said: “The store is looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves.

"We’re committed to making sure that the shopping experience each customer enjoys in our stores is on a par with the products and services they’re used to.

“Customers will notice a few small changes throughout the store to align with social distancing guidelines, ensuring we keep our community safe, and we thank you for the co-operation in ensuring the safety of both our colleagues and customers”.

The store employs 24 members of the local community and said the refurbishment would create additional job opportunities.
