Aldi CEO Giles Hurley has issued a warning to all shoppers ahead of Christmas as consumers try and ensure that they have everything required for the big day.
The supermarket boss issued a reminder that it is important to have all of the essentials in by the time stores close on Christmas Eve, with few options for buying any missed items on December 25.
Aldi is also among the group of stores which will remain closed on December 26.
Home Bargains, M&S, Waitrose, John Lewis, Iceland, Poundland, B&Q, Wickes and Pets at Home will also remain shut on Boxing Day.
In an update to shoppers reported in the Manchester Evening News, the Aldi CEO boss said: "And, as always, we close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day to make sure our amazing, hard-working colleagues can celebrate and enjoy time with their own families and loved ones."
The email continued: "Our thoughts are with those who may be struggling this Christmas and Aldi has launched an Emergency Winter Foodbank Fund worth £250,000 to support charities, foodbanks and community groups across the country.
"We will also once again be donating surplus unsold food to local charities and foodbanks once stores close on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, as part of our long-established partnership with Neighbourly.
"I want to take this opportunity, on behalf of everyone at Aldi, to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."
