A national supermarket chain has confirmed that it will open a new store in a Fenland town in the first half of 2025. 

Aldi plans to open a new shop in March as part of an investment of more than £6,109,800 that will also include upgrades to its current store in Huntingdon.

A spokesperson confirmed the store will open on Hostmoor Avenue.

They said: “Construction for our new March store is progressing well as we move towards opening in the first half of next year.

"This will create up to 40 jobs for the community and enable local people to shop and save closer to home.”

Planning Potential – a London development company with Aldi among its portfolio of clients – has been in talks with Fenland District Council since March 2020 about opening a store in the town.

The two-acre site earmarked is 1-3 Hostmoor Avenue, March, and formerly a packaging company.
