Brigg shoppers have been waiting patiently for the town's new Aldi store to open and it will do so tomorrow (Thursday, September 24) at 8am.
We expect a rush of customers to arrive by car at the Bridge Street store off the A18, and also on foot via the new crossing points provided. A mini-roundabout has been installed to control traffic entering and leaving Aldi's premises.
Aldi has sent four-page glossy leaflets about its new store to many Brigg households this week. Super Weekly Offers include 24 rashers of unsmoked bacon (720g) for £3.29p, and Wagyu rump steak (average weight 227g) for £5.99p. Carrots will be on sale at 39p per kilo - the same price as a pack of three large brown onions. The 'Super 6' also features figs, plums, celery and garlic for 39p (various weights). The store is licensed and will be selling wines, beers and spirits.
The new store is being run by manager Scott Gittens. The international discount retailer stresses that it offers high quality, low-price products.
Aldi’s 'Specialbuys' will be available in the central aisle every Thursday and Sunday - "offering extraordinary value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools."
The new store is located at DN20 8NF (for sat nav users coming by car) and will be trading Mondays-Saturdays from 8am to 10pm, and on Sundays from 10am to 4pm.
As a grocery and 'weekly shop' provider, Aldi joins existing major companies Tesco and B&M which are already established in Brigg.
Many Brigg residents will have shopped at Aldi stores elsewhere, including Scunthorpe and Ashby. It certainly offers low prices!
Remember social distancing if you are planning to visit the new Aldi premises.
