Aldi has announced it will open a new store in Denton as it continues its expansion throughout Greater Manchester.
It will also upgrade its existing store in Middleton.
The two projects, costing a combined £2.5m, will create more than 150 jobs.
Today (Monday) Aldi announced it would be splashing out on one new store in Denton and on upgrading its current store in Middleton.
The projects are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Last summer Aldi announced it was looking for new 20 new store locations in Greater Manchester – including in Didsbury, Radcliffe and Stockport – as part of its longer-term expansion plans.
Aldi is opening stores across the country at a rate of one each week and its ambition is to have 1,200 stores in the UK by 2025.
The retailer already has more than 890 stores and about 35,000 UK staff.
It opened new stores in Barton, Bolton and Urmston during 2020.
Chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland Giles Hurley said: "We have been investing in Britain for more than 30 years now, but we know that there are still areas that either don’t have an Aldi at all, or that need another store to meet customer demand.
"With shoppers increasingly looking to make sure they get unbeatable prices on their weekly shop without compromising on quality, our stores are becoming ever more popular.
"This investment in Aldi stores over the course of this year will help make the UK’s lowest-priced supermarket more accessible to even more people, and bring us closer to our long-term goal of having 1,200 stores across the UK by 2025."
Aldi says it has recently increased its minimum hourly rates, paying a minimum hourly rate of £9.55 nationally, up from £9.40.
The grocer boasts it is the only UK supermarket to pay for breaks taken during shifts, which it says means Aldi staff are the best-paid in the sector.
The supermarket has also announced plans to increase the amount of food and drink it buys from British suppliers by £3.5bn a year by 2025, as it continues its £500m expansion across the UK which will create 4,000 new jobs.
