A SUPERMARKET is set to reopen this week following a significant refurbishment.

The Aldi in Reid Road,Witham will reopen to customers on Thursday, October 21 at 8am with a fresh new look.

The store is said to now have a more customer-focused layout and allows for the products customers know to be found more easily, whilst also browsing new ranges.

It comes as part of Aldi’s £600m investment into further improving its stores and services across the UK, and is based on feedback from more than 50,000 customers.

Known as 'Project Fresh', the renovations have been ongoing since 2018 with the Witham store closing on October 15.

Aldi say the new-look shop will have increased space, dedicated to fresh British meat and fish, as well as popular Lacura health and beauty products, award winning beers, wines and spirits, famous Mamia babycare products, and a new and improved Food to Go section, offering a choice of fresh salads, sandwiches and sushi for busy customers.

They say the format has been created to make shopping easier for Witham customers and the store will now have more space and clearer signage.

Fresh bread and cakes have been moved to the last aisle, preventing them getting squashed under customers’ shopping, and the store will now offer new, easy to browse freezers.

The store employs 29 members of the community, and Aldi say the refurbishment will create additional jobs.

Witham customers can also take a walk down the ‘Aisle of Aldi’, where they will find Specialbuys which are available every Thursday and Sunday.

During re-opening week, the store will be offering a range of toys, including children’s cuddle cushions, Paddington or Peter Rabbit soft toys and Hey Duggee cupcake kits.

Aldi Store Manager John Settle said: “The store is looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves.

"We’re committed to making sure that the shopping experience each customer enjoys in our stores is on a par with the products and services they’re used to.”
