A supermarket is set to open Glasgow's East End, creating 20 new jobs.

Aldi will be opening another store on Shettleston Road by September this year.

The recruitment process is already underway for staff.

Richard Holloway, Managing Director ALDI Scotland, said: “Our sales and customer numbers are growing in Scotland, and there’s demand for new ALDI stores throughout the country.

"Our growing customer base knows that when they shop at ALDI they are buying the best value and best quality products possible, and that we are always working to increase the number of Scottish-sourced products we sell.

“In addition to creating new jobs, our new stores increase ALDI’s footprint across the country and enable even more customers to switch to ALDI for their weekly shop.”

As well as Shettleston Road Glasgow, stores will be opening in Peterhead, Whitburn and Johnstone, and the retailer is creating additional floor space at three existing stores Livingston and Bellshill. The investment will also see 13 stores across the country undergo upgrades as part of ALDI’s ‘Project Fresh’ programme – including Glasgow’s Knightscliffe Avenue store – which will result in more space for fresh, chilled and food-to-go ranges.

In December, ALDI officially opened its new multi-million pound Scottish Buying Office at its headquarters in Bathgate and announced a Scottish Small Supplier Development Programme to give up-and-coming food and drink companies the chance to secure their big break.

This year, work will also begin on a further £22million investment in new chill and freezer facilities at ALDI’s Scottish headquarters in Bathgate.
