Aldi to Open One New Store a Week until 2013

Aldi sets to spend £1.5 billion up on its expansion plans – building a new store every week and recruiting 1,500 employees.

 The German
hard discount chain announced its plans as a new report showed the
harsh economic situation in Britain is prompting shoppers to reduce
household expenses.
Aldi, which is in the process of bringing over
200 more stores on-line, said it was confident of reaching its UK
target of 1,500 supermarkets.
One industry journal quoted Aldi as
posting a year-on-year growth rate of 21%.
