Ipswich s newest Aldi supermarket is due to open at 8am next Thursday morning at Europa Way off Sproughton Road.
The new store will be run by Store Manager Simon Castle, along with a team of 41 staff - including 22 new jobs for people recruited locally.
The store is larger than the existing Aldi store at Meredith Road on the same side of the town.
The company has said both sites will operate alongside each other - but it will keep the performance of the Meredith Road store under review - it was offered for sale last year, although it was subsequently removed from the market.

Hopes of opening a new super-surgery in north-west Ipswich have been delayed after an ambitious plan to convert an Aldi store was put on hold.
The supermarket s branch in Meredith Road was put on the market last year, because Aldi planned to close it when opening a new, larger store in Europa Way, off Sproughton Road, in the spring.
However, at the end of the year it was confirmed that the supermarket site had been taken off the market because Aldi wanted to see what demand was like if it retained both sites.

Aldi bosses are currently deciding whether or not to close their Meredith Road store as it is just under two miles from the location of the new Europa Way store.
