ALDI TO CLOSE ALL STORES ON BOXING DAY 

Aldi has confirmed it will close all its stores on Boxing Day to thank its colleagues once again for all their hard work.   

Britain’s fourth-largest supermarket will close on 25^th and 26^th December and reopen as usual on Friday 27^th, so customers can pick up all the essentials for their New Year celebrations. 

Opening hours will vary in the build-up to Christmas, with Aldi operating extended hours to ensure customers can stock up ahead of the big day. 

Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “Christmas is such a special period for many of our colleagues, and by keeping our stores closed on Boxing Day, Aldi gives them more time to spend with their loved ones.   

“Customers will have plenty to look forward to in the run-up to Christmas, with exciting Christmas ranges hitting shelves in time for the festive season.”   

 The supermarket also recently announced it plans to open 23 new locations before the end of the year – including Muswell Hill, London and Mere Green, Birmingham – marking a record £800m investment programme during 2024.
