THE date discount supermarket Aldi will be opening its new Sussex store has been revealed.
The German food retailer will open the branch in Lottbridge Drove, Eastbourne on Thursday, April 28 at 8am with 100 golden tickets up for grabs.
To celebrate, the store will be handing out golden envelopes containing special tickets to win a range of prizes including a 40” HD TV, Dyson DC50 Multi-floors, Tablet PCs, Coffee Machines, Classic Food Mixers and bags of Aldi shopping to the first one hundred people in the queue on opening day.
Mark Hawkins, who competes in Handball for Team GB, will officially open the store alongside Store Manager, Pa Bayo, and Deputy Mayor, Councillor Jim Murray, as part of a grand ribbon cutting ceremony.
Aldi launched the arrival of the store to the town through the sponsorship of the Eastbourne Half Marathon in March.
Aldi provided refreshments for all runners, which included a 60 strong team of Aldi staff.
The new store has created over 40 jobs for the local community.
The store will be served by 114 car parking spaces and will feature around 1,600 product lines.
