Aldi creates 30 jobs with new 12,000 sq ft store at Stretford Mall

Supermarket chain Aldi has given its North West presence a boost this week with the opening of a new shop at Stretford Mall.

The Mayor of Trafford, Cllr Judith Lloyd, was on hand at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday (June 30) to officially welcome the first shoppers to the 12,270 sq ft store, which has created 30 new jobs.

To mark the launch, bosses at the shopping complex announced changes to the site’s parking rules that will allow visitors to park for up to three hours for free. The site has space for 800 vehicles.

Stretford Mall’s centre manager, Gareth Wilkins, said: “We’re always striving for ways to improve the experience for those visiting the centre.

“With the addition of Aldi to our ever-growing offering at Stretford Mall and the great retail and leisure options already available at the centre, three hours of free parking gives shoppers time to relax and enjoy without having to worry about the car.”

He added: “Our brand-new state-of-the-art number plate recognition cameras are now in operation meaning it has never been easier to park at Stretford Mall.”
