Birmingham’s latest Aldi store announces opening date, special guest & free food to first customers

Aldi is set to open a brand new store in Stirchley, Birmingham - and there will be a special guest on hand to cut the red ribbon.

The latest store, one of 16 new Aldi stores that the budget retail said it was opening across the country before the end of the year, is being run by local people headed up by store manager Karia Gilbert - and they are looking for 15 more store assistants to join the team.

The new store will open on November 24 (Thursday) at 8am when Olympic hockey hero Sarah Jones will cut the red ribbon - give away complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables from Aldi’s famous Super 6 range to the first 30 customers in the queue.

What’s on offer at the new Aldi store in Stirchley?

The store will offer Aldi’s high quality, low-price products, like fresh British meat products with weekly offers, their award-winning ‘Specially Selected’ range, exclusive Beers, Wines and Spirits, and a ‘Food to Go’ section at the front of the store.

Aldi’s Specialbuys will also be available in the middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday, offering extraordinary value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools.

Consumer group Which? recently confirmed Aldi as the UK’s cheapest grocer on a basket of 48 everyday items with a price difference of £11.78 against Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s, making them on average 16% more expensive.

What the store manager said

Aldi Store Manager Karina Gilbert said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Stirchley. It’s set to be a special day and having Olympic hero Sarah Jones join us will make it a morning to remember.”

Hockey star Sarah Jones added: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store; it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of Team GB.”
