Aldi at Viking Park, Congleton opens its doors
Nationally recognised food retailer, Aldi have successfully completed their build and fit out for their brand new 20,000sq ft food store at Viking Park, Congleton.
The 2-acre fully serviced plot located in the retail zone of the mixed-use development is home to the single storey 20,000sq ft purpose-built food retail facility. The exterior of the building has been designed to sympathetically reflect its green surroundings, a design code condition which has been applied across the scheme. Aldi have invested an estimated £7.5million in Congleton and have delivered the new store less than nine months after construction began.
Bryn Richards, Aldi Real Estate Director said:
“Opening our new store at Viking Park, Congleton, marks an exciting milestone for Aldi. We are proud to have delivered this high-quality facility in record time, providing the community with access to our award-winning range of products at unbeatable prices. This significant investment not only underscores our commitment to Congleton but also supports local jobs and the wider economy. We look forward to welcoming customers through our doors and becoming a key part of the Viking Park development.”
Marc Freeman, Director, Clowes Developments (UK) Ltd added:
“The official opening of this store will bring the retail element of this development to life. The timing coincides well with our lead construction contractors, Roe Developments, gearing up to begin building the next stage of roadside convenience, a Starbucks, Greggs and KFC. Additionally, we will be starting to construct a 20,000 sq ft builders merchants and speculatively building a further 9,000sq ft industrial unit which will be available on an all-enquiries basis. We anticipate all units will be open for business March 2025.”
