Aldi is investing £90m ($114m) to facilitate the refurbishment work, aimed at enhancing the customer experience by providing more space and incorporating sustainable features.
The upgrades will vary, depending on the requirements of each site.
Energy-efficient technologies, such as fridge doors to reduce energy consumption and natural refrigerants to lower carbon emissions, are some of the central agendas of the upgrade work.
The updates will also involve refreshed signage and redesigned store layouts to optimise the shopping experience.
