Major Supermarket Confirms Plans To Open New Store At City Fields



Another big name is set to make Wakefield’s City Fields it’s new home as Aldi confirms plans to open a store at the site’s District Centre.

 

Councillor Jack Hemingway, Wakefield Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Growth, said:

“Aldi will be another great addition to City Fields and the local area. The new store will give residents more choice about where to shop and create job opportunities for local people."

“It’s great to see global brands showing confidence in our district as a place to invest and do business. Residents have waited patiently for new facilities at City Fields. I’m pleased that we’re seeing them start to come through and look forward to more announcements very soon.”

 

Aldi currently operates 1,052 stores across the UK and employs in the region of 45,000 staff, making it one of the largest supermarkets in the country.

 

Mark Stringer, Aldi Real Estate Director, said:

“We’re delighted to confirm our plans to open a new Aldi store at City Fields, building on our strong existing presence in Wakefield and our long-term commitment to serving customers across the city."

"City Fields is an exciting development and we’re pleased to be part of the vision for the new District Centre. We are working closely with the developers of this scheme to progress our new store as the wider project moves forward."

 

"We’re proud to continue investing in Wakefield and to bring even more residents access to the high-quality, affordable groceries they expect from Aldi.”

 

The City Fields Site is currently being prepared for construction to start, with more announcements from prospective new leisure and retail businesses expected to follow.

 

Daniel Newitt, Director at Stirling Investments, said:

“We’re really pleased to be able to bring forward the new District Centre at City Fields, as we know how important this is for local people. And Aldi is another great addition to the site.”

With groundworks already underway it’s expected the site will be ready for new businesses to move into the new District Centre before the end of 2027.
