Aldi has announced its festive opening hours for stores across the country, revealing it will close branches for three days. It will also be extending its opening hours to give customers the chance to pick up all the bits and bobs needed for a jam-packed Christmas Day celebration.
The supermarket revealed it will close all of its UK stores on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, giving colleagues some well-deserved time off during the festive period. Stores will reopen again on Sunday, December 27. Branches will also be up and running on Saturday, January 2, 2027, after ringing in the new year.
Britain’s biggest discounter will keep stores open from 7am in England and Wales and 8am in Scotland between Monday, December 21 and Wednesday, December 23. On Christmas Eve, stores will open at the same times before closing at 6pm.
Normal operating hours will resume from Saturday, January 2.
Rachel Geary, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “No matter how organised you are for Christmas, there always seems to be something left on the shopping list.
“We want to make those final few days before Christmas as easy as possible, giving customers more time to pick up everything they need at Aldi’s unbeatable prices. And with our stores closed on Boxing Day, our colleagues can enjoy some well-deserved time with their loved ones too.”
