Aldi has embarked on a nationwide project to identify top sites for new store openings.

The initiative invites customers across the country to suggest where the supermarket should establish its next premises.

The locations with the highest number of suggestions will subsequently be considered for Aldi's plan to construct hundreds of new shops across Britain.

Managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, Jonathan Neale, said: "We want to make high-quality food accessible to all, but there are still some areas that either don’t have an Aldi or have potential for more stores.

"We’ve identified some key places where there is demand for more stores already, but now we are calling on the public to share their views.

"This will be used to help inform our property search over the coming years."

Customers interested in nominating their towns for consideration can email NextNewStore@Aldi.co.uk by May 31.

The supermarket will then reveal its updated 'wish list' of priority locations later this year.
