The corona virus came, pubs and restaurants had to close.
The British were particularly fond of a German supermarket during the crisis - it is now expanding on a large scale.
The German
supermarket chain Aldi has been represented
in the
United Kingdom
for 30 years
.
The coronavirus pandemic * is now causing increasing sales at Aldi *.
The German group would therefore like to
invest
millions in
Great Britain
- despite
Brexit
.
Great Britain - The
German discounter giant Aldi has
recently benefited enormously from the
coronavirus pandemic
: The international group has also been represented in Great Britain for 30 years * - when the
restaurants and pubs there were
closed, its sales rose significantly.
According to the
Kantar Institute
, Aldi's market share in
Great Britain was
eight percent at the beginning of September.
Aldi
now
wants to
further expand
its market position on the big island
.
For that money is to be in
the billions
are invested.
In the
United Kingdom
, the
discounter chain says it
wants to
hire an additional 4,000 employees and
open a hundred new branches
by the
end of 2021
.
So far,
Aldi
has hired
around 3,000 new employees, so that the group
now has more than 36,000 employees
in
Great Britain
.
Aldi wants to expand in Great Britain - 1200 branches planned by 2025
Despite the uncertain
Brexit prospects
, the company is
spending
a lot of
money
on
its expansion plans *
: As
Aldi announced
on Monday, they want to
invest around 1.3 billion pounds in
expanding their market position
by the end of next year
.
This corresponds to around
1.44 billion euros
.
At the turn of the year, the end of the lengthy
Brexit transition
phase is currently
expected.
Economic experts fear that
Brexit could make
trade between
Great Britain
and the
European Union
much more difficult.
With the exit from the
EU internal market
, for example, new controls are due, which could result in long
traffic jams on the border
to the European continent.
But
Aldi
does not seem to be deterred: "With the increasingly uncertain economic future in
Great Britain
, families have their food bills in view more than ever," said British
Aldi boss Giles Hurley
confidently.
Like its
competitor Lidl
,
the German discounter giant Aldi * has so
far - with success - steadily expanded
its market share in the
United Kingdom
: In 2019, sales rose by 8.3 percent to 12.28 billion pounds, Hurley reported.
The Aldi concept also works in the UK: the British have been buying wine and spirits online since Corona
