The Aldi supermarket in Stevenage has reopened, following an extension and refurbishment of the store.

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

Stevenage customers can also take a walk down the 'Aisle of Aldi', where they will find Specialbuys, which are available every Thursday and Sunday.

Kyle said: "The team and I are really looking forward to welcoming back some familiar faces as well as new customers, and supplying our community with the everyday amazing products we have available.

"Hopefully the new-look store will make shopping at Aldi Stevenage that bit easier and more comfortable."
