Aldi, Weymouth
The new store is 1650m2 with 100 parking spaces
The delivery of the new Aldi store is the first step in a £10 million regeneration project, which could bring more than 300 yearround jobs to Weymouth.
Our clients, LondonMetric Property and Avercet have reached a major milestone in their plans to regenerate land at Weymouth Gateway, with the handover of a fully serviced building to Aldi. Mildren successfully built the shell and core and handed it over to the fit out speciliast ahead of an expected September 14 opening.
The developers have been working to bring forward a phased 10 million investment on both sides of Mercery Road since 2018. Once completed, they expect it will generate in total more than 300 jobs. As well as progressing the Aldi development to the east of Mercery Road, they have submitted a planning application for the extension of Medisave House which will create approximately 30 new jobs, and another for a retail-led scheme for land to the west of Mercery Road which could provide more than 250 further jobs.
The store, which is situated next to Sainsbury’s on the Gateway site, successfully opened on September 14. It replaces Aldi’s ageing and much smaller Jubilee Retail Park store, which is set to be taken over by a national food retailer. Staff from Aldi’s closing store will transfer to Weymouth Gateway and Aldi hopes to employ at least 15 additional people.
