DISCOUNT supermarket Aldi is booming, thanks to the credit crunch.
Recent sales are up 40 per cent — and up 25 per cent on a year ago.
Aldi’s UK corporate buyer Tony Baines said: “Our figures show our market share is rising fast.”
He added: “Footfall — the number of people through the door — is up 25 per cent. And half of our customers are ABC1, people who normally shop in Sainsbury’s and Waitrose, or the more affluent Tesco shopper.”
German-owned Aldi has just won the 2008 Retail Industry Award for Outstanding Achievement.
Mr Baines said: “Our fruit and vegetable sales are up 80 per cent year-on-year and sirloin steak and smoked salmon are performing strongly.” But he said it was a much trickier time for spending on non-food items.
A CBI retail survey this week found high street stores in general had their third consecutive month of falling sales.
But supermarket growth was up, with 37 per cent experiencing a rise.
