Aldi chiefs have confirmed the opening date of their latest Ayrshire store.
The German supermarket is on the brink of setting up shop in Cumnock and an Olympic hero will help cut the ribbon at the new store.
The Ayr Road supermarket will open on Thursday, November 25 at 8am.
And the new shop will be run by store manager John Boyle, along with a team of 29 workers from the local community.
The new store will offer fresh, Scottish meat products with weekly offers, Aldi’s award winning ‘Specially Selected’ range, exclusive beers, wines and spirits, and a ‘food to go’ section at the front of the store.
Aldi’s legendary Specialbuys will also be available in the middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday, offering extraordinary value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools.
John Boyle and his staff will be joined by Team GB bronze medallist Stuart Benson to celebrate the store opening and cut the all-important ribbon on opening morning.
Aldi store manager John Boyle said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Cumnock. It’s set to be a special day and having Olympic hero Stuart Benson join us will make it a morning to remember.”
Bobsleigh star Stuart Benson added: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store, it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of Team GB.”
Additionally, the new Aldi store is calling on local charities and food banks in Cumnock to register with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform that links businesses to charitable organisations in the local community.
Local charities that register will be able to collect surplus food and perishable products, such as fruit, vegetables and baked goods, up to seven days a week. Any charities in the area that would like to partner up with the new Aldi store should email aldi@neighbourly.com.
The new store will be located on Ayr Road, Cumnock, KA18 1EQ and will be open: Monday to Saturday 8am to 10pm and Sunday 9am to 8pm.
