The company has bought the old Masters site and submitted a $5.39m development application to Tamworth Regional Council.
An Aldi Australia spokesperson said the supermarket chain had “identified Tamworth as part of our long-term expansion plans”.
“We believe Aldi will positively impact the community of Tamworth, supporting jobs for 15 to 20 full time and part-time employees, offering rewarding career opportunities for local residents,” the Aldi Australia spokesperson said.
“We are excited to show local residents the benefits Aldi can bring to their wallets and their lifestyles.”

While Aldi has purchased the entire 20,000-square-metre lot, which stretches from behind the properties on Hiltons St to Locks Ln, the store will only use a small part of the block located directly opposite Karwin St.
The development application details plans for a 1727-square-metre store and an 103-space car park.
