Aldi continues to grow in Malaga: opens its first supermarket in Fuengirola and reopens the store in La Cala de Mijas

The Aldi supermarket chain continues to grow in Málaga and Andalusia with the reopening of its store in La Cala de Mijas on April 28 and the opening of its first supermarket in Fuengirola the following day, April 29. This expansion comes just a month after the inauguration of its 500th store in Spain, which took place in Mijas. The new Fuengirola store will be located at Calle Malvarrosa, 1, in the Los Pacos neighborhood. It will feature a sales floor of 1,000 square meters and a team of 14 professionals, 50% of whom are new local hires, as explained by the company this Wednesday. On the other hand, the reopening of the La Cala de Mijas store will take place on April 28, reopening its doors after a "comprehensive update of its facilities and an expansion of the same." The renovation includes more than 200 additional square meters of sales floor, as well as optimization of the warehouse and internal dependencies. Additionally, to facilitate access, 13 new parking spaces have been added. With more than 1,700 professionals in the region and over 500 in the province of Málaga, Andalusia is the autonomous community with the largest presence of the chain in Spain. The sustained growth in this area is supported by its solid logistics network, which includes a platform in the town of Dos Hermanas to efficiently supply all the stores in the southern peninsula. Aldi states that it will continue with this pace of growth in the coming months and has already announced another opening in the province of Málaga in the next three months. With the goal of bringing its offerings to as many households as possible, the company is carrying out an ambitious expansion plan in Spain. By 2026, Aldi plans to open 40 new supermarkets across the country.
