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
