A Lichfield supermarket will reopen this week after a refurbishment.
The Aldi store in the city will give customers a first glimpse of the changes at 8am on Thursday (25th April).
The transformation is part of the company’s £600million investment in store upgrades across the country and is based on feedback from more than 50,000 customers.
A spokesperson said:
“The new-look store offers increased space, dedicated to fresh British meat and fish, as well as popular Lacura health and beauty products, award-winning beers, wines and spirits, famous Mamia babycare products, and a new and improved ‘food to go’ section, offering a choice of fresh salads, sandwiches and sushi for busy customers.
“The format has been created to make shopping easier for customers and the store will now have more space and clearer signs to make shopping effortless.
“Fresh bread and cakes have been moved to the last aisle, preventing them getting squashed under customers’ shopping, and the store will now offer new, easy-to-browse freezers.”

The company said the refurbishment would also create additional jobs beyond the 26 existing roles.
What an assault on the senses! Sad to say that they’ve made it worse. Bright lights, narrow aisles, hum of the refrigerators and constant beeping from the tills throughout the whole store.
Sadly I will only be visiting on the odd occasion and getting in and out as quickly as possible.
I visited for the first time yesterday and I have to agree with Nigel Knight. Whilst it has a cleaner look, the aisles are too narrow, and the till area is noisy and why do they need all those cabinet doors, so unnecessary. They obscure many of the products and what a faff with all the opening and closing. The new price labels look chic but are so small it’s hard to read them and those at the lower levels are near on impossible to read if one is not able to bend down at the knees or over at the waist. Back to Lidl’s me thinks.
Anns. Correct me if I’m wrong here, but haven’t Lidl got cabinet doors on there chilled sections to open and close?. So what is the issue of opening a door. Do you have a fridge and freezer in your house?
Possibly the cabinet doors are there for environmental reasons ie. Keeping the cold air in and fuel costs down, same as we do at home!
Ann s the cabinet doors are to reduce electric consumption this reduce costs this stabilise prices
