Aldi is looking to pinpoint locations for new stores in Cranbrook, Axminster, Exmouth, Exeter and Sidmouth.

The supermarket chain has launched a nationwide initiative, calling on the nation to help it identify where in Britain it can build a new store.

They are looking for new sites in Cranbrook, Axminster, Exeter - North, Exmouth - Central and a relocation site in Sidmouth.

Those wanting to put their town forward to be considered should contact the supermarket by emailing NextNewStore@Aldi.co.uk, clearly stating their postcode and why they believe their area needs a new Aldi store.

Aldi is asking for suggestions to be submitted by May 31, with the supermarket planning to update customers on the results and its latest priority ‘wish list’ later this year.

The retailer currently has more than 1,000 stores – including around 12 in Devon - and has a long-term target of over 1,500 stores across the UK.

Jonathan Neale, managing director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “We want to make high-quality food accessible to all, but there are still some areas that either don’t have an Aldi or have potential for more stores.

“We’ve identified some key places where there is demand for more stores already, but now we are calling on the public to share their views. This will be used to help inform our property search over the coming years.”
