ALDI is extending Sunday opening hours so shoppers can pick up Euros and heatwave supplies.
Aldi stores are set to open half an hour early from this Sunday, ahead of England’s Euro 2020 match against Croatia.

Normally stores will open at either 10am or 11am on a Sunday.
After that stores across England and Wales will continue to open earlier than usual for browsing every Sunday, to give football fans more time to stock up on food during the rest of the Euros.
The early opening time over the weekend will carry on throughout the summer as well to also give shoppers a chance to visit their local store at a quieter and somewhat cooler time too.
That means they’ll have longer to be able to stock up on summer essentials as the UK experiences hotter temperatures.
