Aldi has confirmed its opening hours for the August bank holiday, which is on Monday, August 25.
The supermarket has revealed its stores will be run as normal before the bank holiday - meaning that the majority of branches will open from 8am to 10pm on Saturday, August 23, and from 8am until 4pm on Sunday, May 24.
Aldi has now confirmed that on Monday, August 25, its stores will close slightly earlier at 8pm, instead of its normal 10pm close.
Scotland stores stay open later on Sundays, with most branches open from 9am until 8pm. In Scotland, store closing times will remain unchanged. It comes after a high street chain launches 70% off closing down sales as 25 shops set to shut.
The opening times of some stores may vary, so we advise customers to search their local stores on the Aldi website to ensure a successful journey.
Meanwhile, Aldi has also revealed a huge update on its expansion plans, sharing a list of over 20 new stores that are set for a makeover before the end of the year.
