Aldi will reveal a fresh new look for its Seaham store when it re-opens to customers on Thursday, March 9, at 8am.

Standing at 940 sqm of retail space, a more customer-focused layout allows for the products customers know and love to be found more easily, whilst browsing new ranges.

The transformation is part of Aldi’s £600m investment into further improving its stores and services across the UK, and is based on feedback from more than 50,000 customers.

The Project Fresh renovations have been ongoing since 2018.

The new-look store offers increased space, dedicated to fresh British meat and fish, as well as popular Lacura health and beauty products, award-winning beers, wines and spirits, famous Mamia baby-care products, and a new and improved Food to Go section, offering a choice of fresh salads, sandwiches and sushi for busy customers.

The format has been created to make shopping easier for customers and the store will now have more space and clearer signs to make shopping effortless.

Fresh bread and cakes have been moved to the last aisle, preventing them getting squashed under customers’ shopping, and the store will now offer new, easy-to-browse freezers.

The store employs 25 members of the local community, and the refurbishment will create five additional jobs.

Seaham customers can also take a walk down the ‘Aisle of Aldi’, where they will find Specialbuys available every Thursday and Sunday.

During re-opening week, the store will be offering a range of cleaning essentials, including a steam mop for £34.99, an electric window cleaner for £19.99 and a cordless vacuum for £59.99. 

Aldi Store Manager Tasha Hennells said: “The store is looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves. We’re committed to making sure that the shopping experience each customer enjoys in our stores is on a par with the products and service they’re used to.”

The store, which has 72 car parking spaces, is located at North Railway Street, Seaham, SR7 7DA and will be open from 8am to 10pm Mondays to Saturdays, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
