About Aldi

We are proud to be at the heart of local communities across the country. To continue our community-led culture, we have set out a number of “neighbour-friendly” practices:

Aldi aims to recruit its store managers and store colleagues from the local area, which enables them to react quickly and sympathetically to any local issues

Unlike most supermarkets, which operate extended or 24-hour opening periods, our stores typically open between 8am and 10pm Monday to Saturday, and between 10am and 4pm on Sundays

Aldi stocks a carefully selected range of approximately 1,800 core exclusive products, compared with supermarkets such as Asda or Tesco that may stock over 10 times that number of product lines. As a result, an Aldi food store will require only three to four deliveries per day.

Aldi’s unique delivery system enables products to be transferred from the vehicle straight to store, without the need for external movement – minimising thepotential for any disruption

Aldi works with community engagement platform Neighbourly to pair local charities, community groups and food banks with its stores, to enable them to collectsurplus food and perishable products up to seven days a week

The new store would create up to 40 new, full-time equivalent jobs for local people.

Aldi’s rates of pay are significantly higher than the Government’s National Living Wage and also above the Living Wage Foundation’s recommended national rates. Store Assistants receive a minimum hourly rate of £12.40.

It is Aldi’s aim to recruit store colleagues locally for its new stores and, as a result, most live close to the store where they work. More information on career opportunities can be found at www.aldirecruitment.co.uk.
