Paralympic gold medallist to open Aldi store in Stourport

Aldi will be opening its new store on Worcester Road on Thursday (November 26) at 8am.

The new store will be run by store manager Gary Griffiths along with a team of 30 colleagues from the local community.

As part of Aldi’s investment in local communities across the UK, the new store will offer more customers access to Aldi’s high-quality, low-price products. In fact, consumer group Which? confirmed Aldi as the UK’s Cheapest Supermarket for 2025 - the fifth year in a row that it has been awarded this title.

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 extraordinary value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools.

To celebrate the partnership between ParalympicsGB and Aldi, Gary Griffiths and his team will be joined by Paralympic gold medallist Laura Sugar to celebrate the store opening by cutting the all-important ribbon on opening morning.

Laura 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.

Aldi Store Manager Gary Griffiths said: "We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Stourport on Severn. It’s set to be a special day and having Paralympic hero Laura Sugar join us will make it a morning to remember."

Rowing star Laura Sugar 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."

The new Aldi store is also calling on local charities and food banks in Stourport on Severn to register with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform that links businesses to charitable organisations in the local community.

Local charities that register will be able to collect surplus food and perishable products, such as fruit, vegetables and baked goods, seven days a week. Any charities in the area that would like to partner up with the new Aldi store should email aldi@neighbourly.com.

The opening hours for the new store will be Monday to Saturday from 8am to 10pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
