Aldi has announced the locations of six new stores which will open in the coming months.
The supermarket is set to open 35 new stores across the UK this year.
The retailer, which is now the UK’s fourth largest supermarket, will open shops in Preston and Derby “later this month”.
Sites in Skelmersdale and Newport opened earlier this year.
Aldi has previously announced its long-term target of 1,500 stores in the UK, and it is set to invest £550million on expanding its UK footprint this year alone.
Each of the new store openings will create around 40 new jobs on average.
