Fresh photos show latest work at Shrewsbury's new Aldi store as construction continues

Work continues at the new Aldi store in Battlefield, Shrewsbury

Aldi received planning permission for the new store in March, which will have wider aisles and more tills to reduce congestion currently experienced by shoppers using the store in Arlington Way.for the new supermarket being built next to Battlefield Roundabout which connects the A49 and A53.Bosses have said the new branch will retain all 25 jobs, and create 15 new vacancies, generating £1 million in wages annually.

Councillors had expressed their concerns that the increased traffic could lead to queues, but bosses explained the reason for the relocation at a Shropshire Council meeting last year.It's hoped the new shop will be ready by early next year “While we were able to extend the store in 2006, it’s still 40 per cent smaller than our current design and can no longer accommodate the full range of products or customer demand," he told councillors.Mr Brown said a legal agreement would ensure the Arlington Way site is marketed for employment use, excluding retail, for 10 years – effectively representing a “land swap” for the allocated employment site the new store will occupy.
