Aldi is looking to bring a new store to Oldham.

The supermarket chain has identified the Mumps area as a priority location as part of its ongoing expansion across Greater Manchester, alongside Scholes in Wigan, Golborne, and Cheadle.

The expansion is expected to create employment opportunities in each new location.

Store assistants currently earn £13.50 per hour nationally, rising with length of service.

Aldi is seeking freehold, leasehold, or long leasehold sites in high-visibility locations with good access.

Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: "We know how important it is for people to have access to affordable, high-quality food close to where they live, which is why we’re focused on identifying the communities that would benefit most from a new Aldi store.

"Opening new stores in these areas means we can bring great value to more customers, while also creating jobs and offering industry-leading pay."

Landowners and agents in Greater Manchester are encouraged to suggest suitable sites for consideration.
