Aldi Westcroft to get massive extension as it extends into current Poundland Store.
The stores at Westrcoft District Centre are currently undergoing a makeover, following the closure of Poundstretcher.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that the existing Poundland store at Westcroft was moving into the larger neighbouring unit of the former Poundstretcher shop.
A spokesperson for the company confirmed the move and stated that it will be complete in the next few weeks.
MKFM now understands that Aldi, which is currently based within the district centre, will be extending its unit into the Poundland store following the move.
It comes as the popular supermarket chain has announced its plan to open 100 new stores across the UK over the next two years.
Milton Keynes has been named as one of its target areas, with 5 already in the city.
Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “We’re continuing to gain even more customers – with over 60% of UK households shopping with Aldi in the last year.
“Our focus is on expanding our store estate, making sure Aldi is accessible to as many of these new shoppers across the country as possible. Looking ahead, we are excited to provide millions of new customers with access to Aldi’s award-winning quality and unbeatable value as we create even more places and more ways to shop with us.”
