The new Aldi store in Droitwich opened on Thursday 6 March, when customers were given some ‘golden’ giveaways.

Customers queued to see the ribbon cut at 9am and the first 100 customers were also treated to a special opening day gift, with one lucky shopper walking away with a 32” LCD TV.

Store Manager, David Evans explains: “We held an exciting event to help us celebrate the launch of our new store in Droitwich, with plenty of superb giveaways to introduce customers to our extensive product range. “We handed a golden ticket to the first 100 customers, so they could discover which of our opening day gifts they have won. One lucky shopper received a ticket for the 32” LCD TV and other gifts included some of our fantastic opening week specials, such as a portable DVD player, digital TV recorder and slim line digital camera, plus a selection of luxury wine and chocolate products.”
The store also sampled a range of food products, so customers could get a taste of what they can expect from their new Aldi store and its high quality, great value offering. The celebrations continued over the weekend too, as renowned wine connoisseur and journalist, Philippe Boucheron hosted a wine tasting event on Saturday 8 March, in celebration of the store’s opening week.

Aldi offers customers a wide selection of quality goods; from fresh fruit and vegetables, through to household cleaning products and beauty essentials. It also provides a variety of chilled goods, including a selection of finest deli foods, plus a range of frozen products and an extensive choice of wine and spirits.
