ALDI is set to open a new store in a Scottish town later this month.
The new store in Loanhead in Midlothian will officially open to the public on Thursday, November 28 at 8am.
The new store will offer a range of products including Scottish meat, Aldi’s award-winning “specially selected” range and exclusive beers, wines and spirits.

The new shop will be run by store manager Lenka along with a team of 20 colleagues from across the community.
The store manager said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Loanhead. It’s set to be a special day.”
To celebrate Aldi’s partnership with Paralympics GB, Paralympic gold medallist Stephen Clegg will cut the all-important ribbon when the store opens.
He said: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store, it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of Paralympics GB.”
The new store is also calling on local charities and foodbanks to register with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform which links businesses to charitable organisations in the local area.
These charities will then be able to collect any surplus food and perishable products, such as fruit, vegetables and baked goods, seven days a week.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
