The Aldi store in Stevenage has closed for refurbishment.

The Fairlands Way supermarket closed on Saturday (August 31) and will reopen in October.

Aldi is creating an extension of the store, with a L-shaped wraparound covering all of the western side of the store and half the northern side - away from Fairlands Way and towards Pets at Home.

The extension will generate 336sqm of gross internal floorspace.

On the eastern side, the entrance will be modernised and the trolley bay will be removed and replaced by a larger canopy.

A spokesperson for Aldi said: "When we reopen in October, the store will be in our new layout, which ensures more space for fresh, chilled and food-to-go ranges.

"It will be much brighter, with simpler layouts and wider aisles."
