Aldi's new extended opening times at stores across the UK come into force from today, thanks to a slowdown in panic-buying.
The supermarket giant - which has also relaxed its stockpiling restrictions - said new hours are coming into effect from Tuesday, April 14.
It comes as thousands of shoppers warn they're still struggling to access online delivery slots via the big four supermarkets - while some say banks have been blocking their transactions.
In a statement, Aldi told us customers no longer need to queue in the early hours of the morning as stock levels are now consistent.
"Our shelves are now well stocked throughout the day, so there is no need to visit stores first thing in the morning," an Aldi spokeswoman told Mirror Money.
"In fact, from Tuesday 14 April, we will be extending our opening hours in almost all of our stores so you can shop until 10pm Monday to Saturday, when our stores are quieter. Normal Sunday opening hours remain in place."
Aldi has also lifted restrictions on almost all products and announced new plans for more measures to keep customers safe in stores.
The company has scrapped limits on canned foods, bread and more, after a fortnight of chaos.
Stockpiling restrictions were brought in last month after a panic-buying frenzy began on items such as toilet roll, pasta, and long-life milk.
It left shelves across the country empty despite a 50% increase in the supply and production of the essential goods.
It came after the Government warned lockdown measures could be under way for months - a move which later resulted in thousands of people working from home and schools closed until further notice.
However, Aldi said its stock levels are now back to normal after hiring hundreds of workers.
However restrictions on hand wash remain in place - these are limited to four per customer.
Shower gel and UHT (long-life) milk also remain limited to just two per customer.
In a statement the supermarket chain said: "The relaxing of purchase limits follows a return to stable levels of trading and good availability across all Aldi stores."
Aldi has also introduced priority shopping hours, like many of the other supermarket chains, for elderly and vulnerable customers who have no option but to visit stores in person.
These customers will be allowed into the store 30 minutes before standard opening times Monday to Saturday.
And in recognition of their hard work, all staff will receive a 10% bonus as they continue to work around the clock to maintain the nation's access to food.
The grocer said the pay boost is to recognise that employees have been "working tirelessly throughout this extremely busy time" as coronavirus continues to spread through large parts of the country.
Aldi said the extra money will be backdated to March 9, 2020 and will be paid to both store and distribution staff.
The move comes after Britain's biggest grocer, Tesco, announced plans to give all of its workers a 10% boost following their "incredible effort" in stores.
