Supermarket Closes For Major Upgrade

Sittingbourne's Aldi supermarket is set to close for two months from 4pm this coming Sunday (12th January).

The popular budget store, situated on East Street, has been there since 2005 and will see a long anticipated expansion scheme finalised. The plans were approved by Swale Borough Council in May 2024 and the branch is set to be re-open at 8am on Thursday 13th March.

A spokesperson for Aldi told SFM News: "our Sittingbourne store will temporarily close while we extend the store to provide more space for our customers to shop and we will continue to update the community on our progress. In the interim, customers will need to use our nearest stores in Faversham or Queenborough. Once the project is completed, the supermarket will feature an additional 27 parking spaces alongside the expanded store space."
