Aldi is to open 15 new stores across the UK before the end of the year, including four in Scotland.
The supermarket, which currently has more than 930 UK stores, will be opening its latest location in Edinburgh on 25 November.
The new stores form part of Aldi’s commitment to invest more than £1.3bn by 2023, with plans to open 100 new stores over the next two years.
Each new store opening should create more than 30 new jobs on average, with store assistants earning up to £10.57 nationally, with paid breaks included.
Ciaran Aldridge, national property director at Aldi UK, said: “There are still too many people for whom shopping at Aldi isn’t a convenient option - we’re committed to changing that and opening nearly four new stores a week before Christmas clearly demonstrates our progress with this.
“The new stores bring us one step closer to our goal of making our award-winning products at unbeatable prices easily accessible to even more shoppers across the country, and we look forward to welcoming local customers in for their weekly shop.”
