Aldi bosses are looking to build a host of new stores across Greater Manchester.
The chain has just opened its 900th UK shop. Bosses have plans to have 1,200 stores across the country by 2025.
It's an ambitious growth programme.

Bosses prefer to purchase freehold, town centre or 'edge of centre sites' suitable for property development in towns with a population of 15,000 or more.
They say they are 'willing to explore all opportunities', including developer-led schemes and existing or new retail units.
Aldi says sites must be a minimum of 1.5 acres to accommodate an 18,000 to 20,000 ft sq unit, with 100-plus parking spaces.
New Aldi stores must be a minimum of 1.5km from an existing store - or a potential site for a relocation from an existing store.
These are the places in Greater Manchester where bosses would like to build new stores:
