Aldi’s newest store opening in Pitsea was welcomed by over 200 shoppers hoping to be one of the lucky hundred to get their hands on a ‘golden ticket.’ The new store was officially opened by the first Mayor of Basildon, Councillor Mo Larkin.
To celebrate, golden envelopes containing special tickets to win prizes including a 32” Full HD LED TV, 7” Tablet PC, Sat Nav Garmin Nuvi, HD Action Camcorder and much more were handed out to the first one hundred people in the queue. Nick Wood took home the star prize, after queuing from 2 am, with many others walking away with great store products.
