NEW ALDI STORE IN BRIGG ENJOYS 'WONDERFUL MORNING' SERVING FIRST SHOPPERS

International discount retailer Aldi opened its new Brigg store to customers yesterday morning (Thursday, September 24) at 8am. 

The company has now supplied us with comments and information about the new facility off Bridge Street, following on from Brigg Blog's own post as one of the initial customers.
The store - close to the A18 - has 1,315 square metres of retail space and is run by manager Scott Gittens, along with "a team of 28 colleagues from the local community."
Commenting a few hours after the opening, Scott said: “It’s been a wonderful morning here at the opening of Aldi Brigg. It was lovely to welcome our new customers into store and I look forward to meeting more of the community in the coming weeks.
 

“I’d also like to thank our customers for following the social distancing guidelines we have in place to ensure the health and safety of both our customers and colleagues.”
Aldi says the new store has large chillers and freezers dedicated to fresh British meat products, a ‘Food to Go’ section at the front of the store, a back wall showcasing Aldi’s award-winning beers, wines and spirits, and an exclusive section for health & beauty products.
Customers visiting the store can take advantage of Aldi’s famous Specialbuys, which are available every Thursday and Sunday.
During its opening week the Brigg store will be offering a wide range of baking essentials, including, a 3-in-1 hand blender for £14.99, a classic stand mixer for £49.99 and a 4-piece bakeware set for £9.99.
Brigg Blog should have no difficulty remembering the store's postcode DN20 8NF - useful for 'sat nav' customers coming by car.
Opening hours are: Monday - Saturday: 8am – 10pm; Sunday: 10am – 4pm.
