Aldi aims to have six new Scottish supermarkets by the end of the year, compared to December 31, 2012, and building work is expected to start on another at Ellon, Aberdeenshire, early in 2014.
The discount retailer said yesterday it planned to start demolishing an existing building on the Ellon site soon, while construction work would get under way during the first quarter of next year. Aldi’s new store is on the site of the old Haldanes store, which has lain empty since 2011.
It was a Safeway and then a Somerfield before it was snapped up by Haldanes in 2009. Haldanes went into administration two years later.
