Aldi has announced all its stores are set to be closed on Boxing Day again this year as a thank you to their employees.

Aldi stores in Brecon, Llandrindod Wells and Newtown will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing day.

In the run-up to Christmas, Aldi is extending its opening hours, providing more time to pick up last-minute food and presents before the big day.

All stores will be open until 6pm on Christmas Eve. They have decided to close on Boxing Day as a sign of appreciation for their employees and in recognition of their hard work throughout the year.

The supermarket has always remained closed on Boxing Day, ever since the opening in the UK over 30 years ago.

The majority of stores will also be open from 8am to 8pm in between Christmas and New year, and until 6pm on New Year’s Eve to help shoppers get everything they need to ring in 2022.
