The discount food retailer has revealed the quietest times to shop at its Oxfordshire branches ahead of the early May public holiday.

The company indicates that customers will encounter fewer fellow shoppers during the early morning window between 8am and 9am or later in the day from 7pm through to 10pm.

Trading hours on Friday 1 May and Saturday 2 May will run from 8am to 10pm. Sunday 3 May will see shorter opening times from 10am until 4pm.

Rachel Geary, communications director at Aldi UK, stated that public holiday weekends offer an excellent opportunity to enjoy quality time with loved ones and delicious meals – whether hosting a garden get-together or journeying with packed snacks.

On bank holiday Monday, 4 May, branches will welcome customers from 8am until 8pm.
