Could Yate be getting an Aldi in the future?

It could be happening if a document released by Aldi is anything to go by.

The supermarket chain has announced that it plans to open one store in the UK every single week until 2021.

There are currently stores in Thornbury, Stroud and Bradley Stoke.

The chain aims to open a number of new stores and they revealed where these new shops could be.

Yate made it on to the list, along with Weston-super-Mare and Bristol.
