‘We can’t wait’ - Aldi to open huge new store less than an hour from Nottinghamshire in time for Christmas

Aldi is to open a huge new store less than an hour from Nottinghamshire in the lead up to Christmas.

The new store in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, will be one of 16 opening across the UK over the next few weeks.

Located in Gallamore Lane, the new store will open to customers on Thursday, November 13.

It will be run by Store Manager Jay Wilder, along with a team of 27 colleagues from the local community.

Plans for the new store were approved in 2024, despite concerns surrounding its impact on existing small businesses.

The new store will offer fresh, British meat products with weekly offers, Aldi’s award-winning ‘Specially Selected’ range, exclusive beers, wines and spirits, and a ‘Food to Go’ section at the front of the store.

To celebrate the partnership between ParalympicsGB and Aldi, Jay Wilder and his team will be joined by Lincolnshire Paralympic gold medallist Sophie Wells to celebrate the store opening by cutting the all-important ribbon on opening morning.

Sophie will also give away complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables from Aldi’s Super 6 range to the first 30 customers in the queue.

Aldi’s Specialbuys will also be available in the middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday, offering products from electrical items to garden tools.

Aldi Store Manager Jay Wilder said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Market Rasen. It’s set to be a special day and having Paralympic hero Sophie Wells join us will make it a morning to remember.”
