Aldi is testing earlier closing times at 97 stores across the UK, with some locations now shutting at 9pm instead of 10pm from Monday to Saturday. The change is part of a trial to help the supermarket save costs, according to The Sun. The affected stores are being asked to collect customer feedback on the new schedule, which will be considered before any permanent changes are made.
The trial includes a significant number of Aldi locations, though not all branches are affected. Customers are encouraged to share their experiences with the new hours, which may influence future decisions. The move comes as part of broader efforts by Aldi to reduce operational expenses.
The Sun has published a full list of the stores impacted by the trial, allowing customers to check if their local branch is included. The trial period is expected to run until further notice, with results likely to be shared in the coming weeks. No immediate impact on services or product availability has been reported.
The decision reflects ongoing challenges in the retail sector, as businesses seek ways to adapt to changing consumer habits and economic pressures. (thesun.co.uk)
