Discount supermarket Aldi has pledged to invest £900 million in opening another 40 stores across the UK and Ireland in 2027, despite facing lower earnings. In 2025, Aldi's operating profits decreased by 1% to £432.9 million compared to the previous year's £435.5 million, while sales rose by 5%, reaching a record turnover of £19 billion. The company attributed this drop in earnings to investments in price reductions and rising wages, as it aims to expand its presence to reach 1,500 shops across both countries. Additionally, Aldi plans to continue cutting prices ahead of Christmas following a £340 million price cut campaign earlier in the year.
