Aldi has revealed the location of 15 new stores it will open across the country by the end of the year.
The German discount supermarket, which currently has more than 930 UK stores, will be opening new stores in, among other locations, Bedlington, Edinburgh, Orpington, Poole and Windsor.
The rapidly expanding grocer said each new store will lead to the creation of around 30 new jobs.
Aldi told This is Money it now has more than one store in around 130 towns and cities up and down the country.

The supermarket chain said store assistants will earn up to £10.57 nationally, and £11.32 inside the M25, with paid breaks included.
Ciaran Aldridge, national property director at Aldi UK, said: 'There are still too many people for whom shopping at Aldi isn’t a convenient option.
'We’re committed to changing that and opening nearly four new stores a week before Christmas clearly demonstrates our progress with this.'
The 15 new stores form part of Aldi’s drive to invest over £1.3billion into expanding its retail estate portfolio and open 100 new stores over the next two years.
