The new store has created 30 new jobs, and information and applications on all roles at Aldi can be found via aldirecruitment.co.uk/stores.

Aldi Store Manager, Steve Newlyn, said: “The new store in Rustington makes Aldi more accessible to a wider catchment area in West Sussex, meaning more households will benefit from Aldi’s affordable prices, without compromising on quality. The team and I are really looking forward to welcoming customers, Liam Heath and the Rustington Otters on opening day.”

Following its opening, the store, located at Unit 3, Manor Retail Park, Rustington will be open from Monday to Saturday at 8am until 10pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
