Aldi reveals plans for new store in Derbyshire town – bringing “significant investment” and creating 40 jobs
Aldi has revealed that it is planning for a new store in a Derbyshire – with the proposals bringing “significant investment” and creating 40 new jobs.
Award-winning discount food retailer Aldi is bringing forward proposals for a new food store on land at Nottingham Road, Ripley.
A spokesperson for Aldi said: “We are pleased to be bringing forward proposals for a new Aldi food store on Nottingham Road, Ripley. The store represents a significant investment in the town and would create up to 40 new quality full-time and part-time jobs.
“We believe this is a strong and accessible location for a new store, which would allow us to better serve local residents and bring Aldi’s award-winning range of affordable, high-quality products closer to the community.
“We encourage residents to visit the consultation website to learn more about the plans and share their views.”
Aldi launched a pre-application consultation on Monday, June 15 – which will run until 11.59pm on Sunday, June 28 2026. Local residents and the wider community are invited to review the plans and provide feedback via the project website.
The new store would create around 40 new full-time and part-time jobs, paid at Aldi’s industry-leading rate, which is above the National Living Wage.
If the proposals go ahead, the new site would be Ripley’s first Aldi food store – which Aldi said would broaden local shopping choice and improve access to affordable, high-quality groceries.
The company believes the site is convenient and accessible, and are hoping to promote more sustainable shopping patterns by helping to reduce the need for residents to travel further afield for everyday groceries.
The plans include the provision of customer parking, including accessible and parent and child spaces, alongside electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Additional employment opportunities will also be created during construction and through Aldi’s established UK supply chain.
Aldi is proposing a modern store design with landscaping, aiming to create an attractive and accessible environment.
Local residents can share their views as part of the pre-application consultation in several ways:
Virtual Exhibition: Visit aldiconsultation.co.uk/ripley to view the plans and provide feedback.
Public consultation event: Attend the public consultation event on Monday, June 22 at Greenwich Community Sports Hub between 3.00pm – 6.00pm.
