Aldi has confirmed its opening times for the late May bank holiday.

The budget supermarket is typically open from 8am until 10pm, Monday to Saturday, then from 10am until 4pm on Sundays in England and Wales. Scotland stores open later on Sundays, due to different trading hours.




These standard opening hours will remain in place Saturday, May 25 and Sunday May, 26. But stores in England and Wales will then shut a bit earlier on the bank holiday Monday, May 27.

On the bank holiday Monday, shops in England and Wales will be open until 8pm. Scotland stores will close at 10pm as normal on the bank holiday. The opening times of some stores may vary, so customers should check the Aldi website for the most up-to-date shopping hours.

It comes after Aldi revealed a new list of 10 priority locations where it wants to open new stores. This includes Aldershot, Chesterfield, Formby and Witney. You can see the full list below – but keep in mind, this is just a “wish list” of locations – it does not mean Aldi will definitely go on to open shops at these places.

  • Aldershot

  • Newark

  • Hutton

  • Cathcart

  • Chesterfield

  • Formby

  • Harrogate

  • Handforth

  • Swansea

  • Wellingborough

  • Witney

Aldi has more than 1,000 stores and wants to increase this number to 1,500. The discounter wants the public to help it choose where to open its next new sites – and the areas which have the most suggestions will then be considered by the supermarket.

Those who want to put their town forward to be considered for a new store should email NextNewStore@Aldi.co.uk by May 31, explaining why they believe their area needs an Aldi. Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “We want to make high-quality food accessible to all, but there are still some areas that either don’t have an Aldi or have potential for more stores.

“We’ve identified some key places where there is demand for more stores already, but now we are calling on the public to share their views. This will be used to help inform our property search over the coming years.”
