Discount supermarket chain Aldi has revealed plans for a new store in Sturminster Newton – and is inviting residents to have their say.
The proposed site is on North Dorset Business Park, just off the A357 on the outskirts of the town. If approved, the development would bring up to 40 new jobs to the town, with Aldi stating all roles will be paid at rates above the National Living Wage.
The £7 million investment would include free customer parking, electric vehicle charging points, and cycle parking for both customers and staff. The store would also aim to boost employment through construction and supply chain contracts.
Elliott Saunders, Aldi Real Estate Director, said: ‘We are thrilled to bring forward plans for a new Aldi store in Sturminster Newton, giving people better access to Aldi’s award-winning range of high-quality products at prices no other retailer can match. We encourage residents to participate in our virtual consultation to learn more about the scheme and share their views.’
Aldi currently has more than 1,000 stores across the UK and continues to expand its presence in rural and market towns.
Residents can view the full plans and share feedback online between 13th October and 10th November by visiting:
