Aldi announces opening date for new Macduff supermarket
Aldi has confirmed it will open its new supermarket in Macduff on Thursday, December 5 at 8am.
The new store will be run by manager Liza Cooper, along with a team of 28 colleagues from the local community.
It is part of Aldi’s investment in communities across the UK.
The new supermarket will offer fresh, Scottish meat products with weekly offers, Aldi’s award-winning “Specially Selected” range, exclusive beers, wines and spirits, and a “Food to Go” section at the front of the store.
Aldi’s Specialbuys will also be available in the middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday, offering value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools.
As Aldi has been fuelling Team GB with fresh, healthy food since 2015 through monthly vouchers, Liza Cooper and her team will be joined by bronze medallist Rowan McKellar to celebrate the store opening by cutting the ribbon on opening morning.
Rowan will also give away complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables from Aldi’s Super 6 range to the first 30 customers in the queue.
Aldi store manager Liza Cooper said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Macduff.
“It’s set to be a special day and having Olympic hero Rowan McKellar join us will make it a morning to remember.”
Rowing star Rowan said: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store; it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of Team GB.”
The new Aldi supermarket is also calling on local charities and food banks in Macduff to register with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform that links businesses to charitable organisations in the community.
Charities that register will be able to collect surplus food and perishable products, such as fruit, vegetables and baked goods, seven days a week.
Any charities in the area that would like to partner up with the new Aldi store should email aldi@neighbourly.com
The new store is located on Duff Street and will be open Monday - Saturday: 8am-10pm and Sunday: 9am-8pm.
