Aldi, the award-winning discount food retailer, are proposing to develop a new discount food store on Hareness Road in the Altens area of Aberdeen.

The proposals would see a new, modern food store development to serve residents living within the south of Aberdeen, including the communities of Altens, Cove, Kincorth and Torry, and will improve the range and quality of shopping provision within the local area.  The proposal would introduce a brand-new discount store to Altens, reducing the need for customers to travel to other stores to complete their grocery shopping and provide the local community with access to Aldi’s high-quality offer and award-winning low prices.

The development will also help regenerate a high-profile site that has lain vacant for a number of years, delivering both investment and jobs to the local area.

The proposals are at an early stage and no planning application has been submitted to Aberdeen City Council at this stage. Aldi would like to hear your views about our ambitions for a new store in Altens which could be open as early as April 2023.

Exhibition boards that provide further detail on the scheme can be viewed here alongside a number of frequently asked questions, which can be viewed here.

Feedback can also be provided using the ‘Have your Say’ button at the bottom of this page. Please provide all feedback by Friday 22 January 2021 to ensure that Aldi can take account of all comments before the application is submitted. Full details of all feedback received, and our response to it, will be contained within a Report of Consultation to be submitted as part of the planning application.

If you have any questions, please contact michael.nelson@avisonyoung.com.

Thank you for your interest in this proposed Aldi store in Altens, Aberdeen.
