Aldi has confirmed that its stores in Swindon and across Wiltshire will close on Boxing Day.
The supermarket firm says it wants to give team members the chance to enjoy more time with family and friends after the festive rush.
Stores will close on Christmas Day as well as Boxing Day before welcoming customers back on Sunday 27 December. They will also close on New Year’s Day and reopen on Saturday 2 January 2027.
Opening times will vary locally in the days before Christmas, with many stores extending their hours to help customers pick up everything they need for the festive period.
Rachel Geary, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “Christmas is a special time for our customers, but it is also one of the busiest periods of the year for our teams.
"Our colleagues work incredibly hard to ensure customers can pick up everything they need ahead of the big day.
“We never take that effort for granted. Closing our stores on Boxing Day is one way of saying thank you and giving colleagues a proper chance to rest, switch off and spend more time with the people closest to them.”
Customers are encouraged to check the Aldi Store Finder nearer the time for the latest opening hours at their local store.
Aldi welcomes enquiries from potential team members. Store Assistants earn £13.50 per hour nationally, rising to £14.47 with length of service. Aldi also offers paid breaks, which it calculates are worth around £1,500 a year to the average store employee.
