Aldi store in Sussex among 25 in the UK set for upgrade

The Aldi store in Sussex selected for a major upgrade is the Lewes branch located on Brooks Road.

Key Details of the Upgrade

• The Investment: The upgrade is part of a £300 million investment programme targeting 25 existing stores across the UK throughout 2026. 
• The Specifics: While most of the 25 stores will receive general refurbishments, the Lewes store is one of only five branches nationwide slated for a full physical extension.
• In-Store Improvements: The project focuses on expanding layouts to create wider aisles and upgrading specific customer-facing zones. Customers can expect modernised Bakery, Health & Beauty, and fresh food sections, alongside more energy-efficient building technologies.

The Wider National Context

The project is part of a multi-year effort by Aldi UK to optimize its existing estate while working toward a long-term goal of operating 1,500 stores across the country. The other four stores receiving full extensions alongside Lewes are located in Stirling, Paisley, Wollaston, and Linlithgow
