Search the Public Notice PortalWatford's new Aldi store has taken another step towards opening after the borough council approved a signage application for the former Iceland and Laser Planet units.
The space below the former Pryzm nightclub in Albert Road South has been taken over by the German supermarket giant, with rumours swirling that the opening date could be imminent.
A June 4 date has previously been floated by an apparent insider, although the retailer has remained tight-lipped.
This week has seen one of the remaining hurdles cleared as permission has been granted to display Aldi signage on the unit.
Speaking earlier in the year, an Aldi spokesperson said: “Once open, the store will create up to 40 jobs and help local people shop and save closer to home.”

Work had previously been seen at the rear of the unit to upgrade the car park and plans also included knocking through the walls of the two units to combine them into one larger space.
The store had initially been expected to open in summer 2025, but this was later pushed back to this summer.
Documents submitted alongside the signage application read: "The proposals will also bring a long‑vacant unit back into active use, supporting local economic activity, and contributing positively to the vitality and viability of the surrounding area. The new advertisements will form part of a well‑integrated and sensitively designed signage strategy that respects the character of the site and its context."
