Aldi also sees opportunity in the demise of Cora: the discounter will open three stores on former Cora sites in the summer of 2026. These are the hypermarket sites in Anderlecht and Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe (near Brussels) and Châtelineau (near Charleroi).
3,500 sqm of retail space
Together, the three new stores will provide an additional 3,500 sqm of retail space. The locations have been strategically chosen to expand Aldi’s store network — currently 445 stores in Belgium — in the regions around Brussels and Charleroi.
