Discounter giant, Aldi, has announced plans to grow its Scottish footprint, investing more than £43m over the next two years and opening two new stores in Bishopbriggs and Dumbarton in 2026.
Earlier this year, Aldi became Scotland’s second largest supermarket by volume as it welcomed 60 million trips through its Scottish stores [Worldpanel by Numerator, 12 w/e 15th June 2025, Total Grocery, Volume (Packs) Share of the Market].
In addition to the new store locations, Aldi has also committed to extending its Greenock, Perth, Linlithgow, Paisley and Stirling stores, with changes including increased space for chilled food, as well as additional room for Specialbuys and re-designed health and beauty and bakery sections.
Much of Aldi’s success in Scotland can be attested to its commitment to championing locally produced food and drink, with the retailer currently working with more than 90 Scottish suppliers and stocking over 450 Scottish products.
