Bringing Everyday
Amazing to Olney
Aldi is working on exciting plans for a new store on land at Warrington Road in Olney.
The new store would provide local people with easier access to our popular, high quality, great value offer. The proposal will enhance local shopping choice, reduce the need to travel and create up to 40 new jobs.
The scheme at a glance
A 1,865 sqm new Aldi store delivering Aldi’s signature low-cost, high-quality service to local shoppers
107 car parking spaces, including 7 parent and child bays, 5 disabled bays and 4 bays with electric charging points
A more suitable development on a site already designated for development
Up to 25 full-time equivalent well-paid jobs for local people
A store which compliments rather than competes with local outlets and independent traders
An energy efficient and environmentally sustainable development
The proposals
Aldi has a presence in other parts of Milton Keynes, however there are no stores in Olney and this site is an ideal location for a new low cost, high quality food store which would give local residents more of a choice when shopping without having to travel out of Olney.
The site has been designated for employment use in the Neighbourhood Plan and currently has outline planning permission for a new hotel and employment units. Whilst a new food store would be classified as retail, rather than employment, Aldi believes a new store would be more beneficial to the community than a hotel. The store would provide at least 25 well-paid jobs, which Aldi would seek to recruit locally.
Unlike other supermarkets, Aldi is not a ‘one stop shop’. We have no in-house bakery, butcher, fishmonger, delicatessen or chemist and we do not sell items such as cigarettes. As a result, Aldi stores complement other local and independent stores which provide these goods and services and by encouraging linked trips to the town centre helps to keep spending local.

A sustainable investment in Olney
Aldi takes its responsibilities to the community and the planet seriously. Our corporate responsibility plan is driven by five principles - community, people, customers, suppliers, and environment. When building our new stores we ensure they are as sustainable as possible.
We intend to go above and beyond Building Regulations and achieve significant carbon reductions on the site. We will recover waste heat generated by the refrigeration system and re-use it to provide heat to the building.
We always seek to source local produce which reduces the miles travelled from field to plate and benefits local suppliers.
As well as creating up to 25 jobs, Aldi’s rates of pay are higher than the Government’s National Living Wage, and above the Living Wage Foundation’s recommended national rates.
