Aldi is to invest more than £29m in new and upgraded stores across Wales this year, creating over 200 jobs.
It today confirmed that it expected to open four new stores, located in Parc Tawe, Caldicot, Newtown and Neath.
The brand also plans and refurbish or remodel two existing ones in Mold and Caerphilly before the end of the year.
This investment is part of the supermarket’s long-term target to reach 1,200 stores in the UK by 2025.
Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer, Aldi UK and Ireland, 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.”
Last summer, Aldi announced it was looking for 36 new store locations in Wales – including in Breacon, Cardiff, and Newport – as part of its longer-term expansion plans.
