New look Doncaster Aldi store opens its doors to the public

The Athron Street branch is set to re-open to customers on Thursday, March 25, at 8am.

Standing at 1,140 sqm of retail space, a more customer-focused layout allows for the products customers know and love to be found more easily, whilst browsing new ranges.

The transformation is part of Aldi’s £500m investment into further improving its stores and services across the UK, and is based on feedback from more than 50,000 customers. The Project Fresh renovations have been ongoing since 2018.

The format has been created to make shopping easier for Doncaster customers and the store will now have more space and clearer signs to make shopping effortless.

The store employs 22 members of the local community, and the refurbishments will create additional job opportunities.

Store manager Andy Hurst said: “The store is looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves. We’re committed to making sure that the shopping experience each customer enjoys in our stores is on a par with the products and services they’re used to.

“Customers will notice a few small changes throughout the store to align with social distancing guidelines, ensuring we keep our community safe, and we thank you for the co-operation in ensuring the safety of both our colleagues and customers”.

The store, which has 87 car parking spaces, is located on Athron Street, Doncaster DN1 2DG and will be open:

Monday – Saturday: 8.00am – 10.00pm

Sunday: 10.00am – 4.00pm
