Aldi is investing over £40m into its Scottish stores over the next two years, with three new sites set to open in 2025.
Shops in Arbroath, Baillieston and Kirkintilloch are set to open next year, while refurbishments are planned for its Carluke, Glenrothes and Stirling stores.
The German discounter said the investment supports its growth ambitions north of the border and enables it to keep up with growing consumer demand.
In 2025, Aldi will also launch a recruitment drive for over 100 new logistics team members to work at its Bathgate Regional Distribution Centre.
