The supermarket on Bearwood Road welcomed customers through its doors again on Thursday morning, following a "significant" makeover.
The store closed for the refurbishment on March 17, with bosses promising a bigger and brighter look.
Shoppers visiting the new-look shop can expect to find an improved layout, with more space and clearer signs.
Fresh bread and cakes have been moved to the last aisle in the shop, preventing them from getting squashed in trolleys, while new freezers have been installed to make browsing easier for customers.
The extension of the store has created 11 new jobs, with recruitment still ongoing.
Store manager Roya Djalilian said: “The team and I are really looking forward to welcoming back some familiar faces as well as new customers and supplying our local community with the everyday amazing products we have available.
"Hopefully the new-look store will make shopping at Aldi Bearwood that bit easier and more comfortable."
The supermarket will open between 8am and 10pm on Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
