Supermarket advises Wiltshire shoppers on best time to pop in over Easter

A Wiltshire supermarket has suggested the quietest times for customers to shop over the busy Easter weekend.

Aldi has advised shoppers that between 8am and 9am or later in the evening between 8pm and 10pm will be the best times for emptier aisles.

The UK’s fourth largest supermarket will be open between 8am and 10pm on Good Friday and Easter Saturday before closing on Easter Sunday to give staff a chance to enjoy the day with their loved ones.

Aldi stores will reopen on Easter Monday between 8am and 8pm. Check local store hours online for any variations over the weekend.

Rebecca Heley from Aldi UK, said: “For many of us, Easter is a time for getting together with loved ones and sharing great food – whether it be roast lamb with all the trimmings or perhaps a BBQ with the warmer weather on the way.

“At Aldi, it couldn’t be easier to pick up everything you need all under one roof and at our unbeatable value so you can focus on what’s really important – spending time with the people who matter most.”

New research from Aldi revealed that Britain is moving away from the traditional Easter meal of roast lamb (18 per cent), with chicken the most popular meat (23 per cent) and some planning to enjoy a barbecue (13 per cent) instead.
