An Aldi supermarket in Oxford remains closed two weeks after its initial shutdown despite 'hopes' that it would reopen after a week.
The German discount shop at Horspath Driftway retail park was unexpectedly closed on Tuesday, October 27, according to local reports.
Signs were put up in the door alerting customers to its closure, though some expressed frustration that it was unclear until they arrived at the shop whether or not it had reopened.
Aldi said the shop was temporarily closed for 'operational reasons' and bosses hoped it would reopen after a week, on Tuesday, November 3.
A new statement from the company, issued today (Tuesday, November 10), said: "Our Horspath Store is currently closed, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
"We will update customers when the store is ready to re-open."
They declined to give a reason for the closure.
Oxford City Council confirmed that their Environmental Health Team, which manages food hygiene inspections, is 'continuing to work' with the store during the closure.
They likewise did not expand on what the issue was.
Contrary to some speculation, there was no police incident at the supermarket on the day it shut.
