The opening date for a new north London Aldi looks to have been revealed on the budget supermarket's own website.
Under the store locator search for 473 Willesden High Road it reads "coming soon November 12".
Major works have been underway on the old B&M site since last December with the cladding on the new supermarket now in place and the hoardings coming down.
The no-frills budget homewares store and garden centre closed down in March 2025.
It's not yet known what the second store will be on the site, but Aldi has said the store is part of a £48 million investment in Greater London including supermarkets in Orpington, Hoxton Edgware Road, Willesden and Hanworth.
They say they are targeting areas of the capital and Greater London where many communities still rely on higher-priced convenience stores or traditional full-price supermarkets for their weekly shop.
Back in May, Aldi applied to sell alcohol from the new Willlesden store from 7am to 11pm daily.
Residents on the Next Door app have been eagerly anticipating the new opening - especially in the light of a row over the car park at Willesden Sainsbury's which introduced a rule that customers must spend £10 in store to get 90 minutes free parking - validating their stay with a bar code on their receipt.
One on the Next Door app wrote: "Once Waitrose in Cricklewood and the new Aldi in Willesden open Sainsbury's will wake up."
Another said of the Aldi opening: "Sooner the better."
While a third added: "Willesden needs and deserves to have a shop that's value for money."
