Aldi opening date confirmed for new Lytham store near McDonald's and Lidl in Preston Road
Aldi will open its new store in Lytham next month.
The new supermarket will open near McDonald’s in Boundary Road, off Preston Road, on Thursday, May 8.
The new Aldi was due to open on Thursday (April 24) but was pushed back due to a delay in roadworks around the site.
The doors will open at 8am and the new Aldi will be run by store manager Damien Hardman, along with a team of 27 staff from the local community.
The store’s opening hours are 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
Manager Damien and his team will be joined by Paralympic gold medallist Ayaz Bhuta who will cut the all-important ribbon on opening morning.
Damien said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Lytham. It’s set to be a special day and having Paralympic hero Ayaz Bhuta join us will make it a morning to remember.”
Wheelchair rugby star Ayaz Bhuta added: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store; it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of ParalympicsGB.”
Ayaz will also give away complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables from Aldi’s famous Super 6 range to the first 30 customers in the queue.
The new store will offer fresh, British meat products with weekly offers, Aldi’s award-winning ‘Specially Selected’ range, exclusive beers, wines and spirits, and a ‘Food to Go’ section at the front of the store.
Aldi’s legendary Specialbuys will also be available in the middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday, offering value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools.
