An opening date has been revealed for a supermarket giant's new Muswell Hill store.

Aldi will open at 412 Muswell Hill Broadway, the former Poundland site, on Thursday, November 21.

The official opening is at 8am, and the first 30 customers will receive complimentary bags of fresh fruit and veg given out by Team GB Paralympian Aaron McKibbin.

Previously shoppers from Muswell Hill would have to travel to Finsbury Park or New Southgate to go to an Aldi shop.

Aldi is opening three more stores in London this year as part of their £550 million UK expansion. The other locations are Holloway Road, Leytonstone and Beckton.

The store is hiring 25 new employees from the local community to work alongside store manager Fabio Belingheiri.

Fabio said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Muswell Hill. It’s set to be a special day.”

The ribbon cutting will be done by Paralympic medallist Aaron.

The table tennis player is “so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store” and hopes to “chat to customers” on the day.

To help the Muswell Hill community the new store is encouraging charities and food banks to register with Neighbourly, a scheme that connects businesses with local charities.

Those who register will be entitled to collect surplus food from the new store, to do so email aldi@neighbourly.com.
