As announced in the group's interim reports last year, in 2023 Tesco plans to open a further two superstores and a further 52 Tesco Express sites and 15 One Stop stores in the second half of the year.
Aldi said the reason for the openings comes after the demand for budget groceries has "never been higher". The supermarket has also pledged to almost double its 60-strong estate within the M25 and create around 2,400 jobs. The chain also has plans to open three new Asda Express stores however could not reveal the dates for these right now. No food store closures in the plan at the moment, although Asda is in consultation to close two of its "Living stores" in Bristol and Wrexham.Morrisons has been hit very hard by rising costs over the last year due to the fact that it packed and processed many of its own foods.
This expansion is to come through Morrisons Daily stores, with the chain explaining to turn over 1,000 former McColls sites into Morrisons Daily stores over the next two to three years.M&S announced in October last year that it was planning to close around 67 of its retail sites as it focuses more of its attention on M&S Simply Food. The latest plans, which were announced earlier this month include consultations to close or relocate around seven stores over the next few weeks.
