Aldi opens a new store in Adamstown, Co Dublin - its 156th store in
Ireland
Aldi has opened its new store in Adamstown, Co Dublin, creating 30 new
permanent jobs in the local area.
The new store is Aldi's 25th to open in Co Dublin and the supermarket
chain now operates 156 stores around Ireland.
Aldi recently announced plans to expand its store network in Dublin to
include a €73m investment in 11 new stores in the county over the next
five years.
The new stores will see the creation of 350 full-time permanent jobs
and 550 construction jobs over the period.
Aldi has made a capital investment of €184m in Dublin over the past 20
years since opening its first Irish store in Parnell Street in 1999.
The retailer currently employs 673 people in Dublin with a €20.3m total
salary spend across its 25 stores in the county.
Working with 81 local producers, Aldi said it spent €193m with these
Dublin based suppliers in 2022.
The new 42.9m Adamstown store has been designed to be as
environmentally friendly as possible.
It is powered by 100% green electricity and has solar panels on the
roof that will contribute towards the overall electrical demand for the
store, powering items such as energy saving lights and its new chiller
fridges.
