Aldi have said: ‘UK sales have continued to rise by 10.0% with its market share standing at 8.0%. The number of customers shopping with Aldi now stands at more than 18 million.’
Aldi UK and Ireland CEO, Giles Hurley, said: “Opening our 1,000 store is a huge milestone and wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our 40,000 incredible colleagues.”
