Analysts Bernstein Research have examined whether Aldi’s growth plans tally with its predictions of a run-down in the hard discounter property pipeline.
Aldi’s UK operation recently announced that it plans to refurbish a total of 380 stores across the UK by 2021, to add to 200 stores it has already renovated.
In addition, the group plans to expand its store estate, with 70 store openings in 2018, and a further 130 between 2019 and 2020.
