New look Aldi in Doncaster opens its doors to the public

Standing at 1,140 sqm of retail space, a more customer-focused layout at the Harworth branch 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 store employs 24 members of the local community, and the refurbishment will create additional job opportunities.

Customers visiting the store can safely pick up all the essentials they need. The Aldi on Scrooby Road has a number of safety measures in place, including sanitisation stations on entry, Perspex screens at its tills and social distancing reminders in store, as well as a traffic light system to control the number of people going in and out of the store.

Aldi Store Manager Jayne Adderley 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 89 car parking spaces, will be open: Monday to Saturday 8am-10pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.
