In its annual trading update, the retailer said it plans to open 23 new locations before the end of the year.
The chain, which currently has over 1,000 stores, has previously announced plans to scale to 1,500 stores across the UK.
The supermarket is searching for freehold city-centre, edge-of-centre, and retail park sites suitable for property development.
The sites should be able to accommodate a 20,000 sq foot store with around 100 parking spaces. Ideally the location will be near a main road with good visibility and access.
Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “We are committed to bringing high quality, affordable groceries to millions more British families.
“With more than 1,000 stores across the country, our footprint is definitely growing, but we know there are still a number of towns that either don’t have an Aldi or have shown demand for more stores.”
