Stretford Aldi reopens at Stretford Mall after refurbishment

The supermarket within the shopping centre closed over the weekend to allow for the work.

The refurbishment of the 1,140-square-metre site at Stretford Mall, itself in the midst of a redevelopment of its own, is part of a £600 million investment into stores across the UK based on feedback from tens of thousands of customers.

It aims to increase the space in these stores and to introduce other changes to make the shopping experience an easy one.

Adam Radley, the store manager who is responsible for a team of almost 30 workers, said: "The store is looking fantastic, and we can't wait to welcome our customers back so they can see it for themselves. 

"We're committed to making sure the shopping experience of customers in our store is on a par with the products and services they're used to."

The redevelopment of Stretford Mall started two months ago and includes the reinstatement of King Street with bars, restaurants, retailers and a market hall via the removal of the roof of the shopping centre. There is a plan for a square with events spaces and seating areas, plus a significant amount of greenery, as well as a plan for significant investment in the car park.

All of this is possible thanks to a partnership between Bruntwood Works and Trafford Council and thanks to support from central government's Future High Streets Fund (FHSF). Caddick Construction is responsible for the construction.

It comes after work also started on some of the shopfronts on Chester Road and on the carriageway of The Kingsway.

Stretford Aldi reopens at Stretford Mall today. It is open from 8am to 10pm from Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
