Welcome

Aldi, the award-winning discount food retailer, is bringing forward proposals to develop land off Viking Way, Congleton, with a new, high-quality food store.

We are proud to have operated highly successful stores in Cheshire East for a number of years and are eager to create a new store in Congleton, which will give residents easier access to our award-winning range of low-cost products and reduce travel times.

The current cost-of-living crisis means many people are looking to make their money go further by purchasing better-value products. As the UK’s leading and cheapest discount supermarket Aldi believes it has an essential role to play in providing high-quality products at affordable prices.

The site being proposed is a component of a larger residential and employment led masterplan for northern Congleton that has already obtained Outline Planning Permission for uses including a foodstore. Aldi’s proposal site is a part of the fourth phase of this development, and it will be submitted along with a Drive Thru and a retail terrace, to create a new local centre. In line with the outline permission, Aldi’s proposals would transform the site into an attractive, modern discount food store in an accessible location for the residents of Congleton, improving consumer choice and enhancing customer experience. Our store could also create up to 40 full-time equivalent jobs for local people

Aldi is now seeking the views of the local community.
