A town's Aldi store reopens with a new look this week after a 12-day closure.

The Dover branch, in Cherry Tree Avenue, opens its doors again at 8am on Thursday.

It had shut on January 16 for refurbishment.

It has a new layout, with more space and clearer signage, part of the chain's nation £500 million investment in its branches.

The Project Fresh renovations have been ongoing since 2018.

The Dover store has 30 staff and branch manager Anna Figiel said: “The store is looking fantastic and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves.

“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.”

Aldi is Britain’s fifth largest supermarket chain with more than 900 stores and more than 36,000 employees.

The Dover store, which has 85 parking spaces, will be open Mondays to Saturdays from 8am to 10pm and Sundays from 10am to 4pm.
