A Leeds store is set for an upgrade as Aldi invests more than £12.6million in its stores across Yorkshire this year.

The budget supermarket chain is set to invest more than £12,653,000 in new and upgraded stores across Yorkshire this year - including its store in Burley. The Evanston Avenue store, Cardigan Fields, is one of several sites being upgraded in the region.

Aldi is also developing a new store in Huddersfield as it recruits for 500 store roles in Yorkshire, with a plan to create 6,000 new jobs across the UK this year. From July 1, starting pay for Aldi store assistants will increase to £11.40 per hour nationally.
