Aldi has announced the location of 16 new stores opening across the UK in the coming months.

Over the next few months Aldi will open stores in London's Marble Arch, Port Talbot, Wales, and Wigan in Greater Manchester.

Other locations where a new Aldi store is opening soon include Ashford in Kent, Rayleigh in Essex and Sudbury in Suffolk.

The supermarket chain has more than 1,080 stores nationwide and is ploughing ahead with its plan to have 1,500 stores in Britain.

Aldi's announcement today follows the opening of the chain's new Salford Quays store last month and forms part of its planned £370million investment in new stores this year.
