ALDI Ireland has announced it will open its new store in Dooradoyle later this month, marking the retailer’s 167th store across the country. The new €13 million Dooradoyle store will be ALDI’s fifth store in Limerick and will create 30 new permanent jobs locally when it opens on Thursday, 18th June.
Michael Essex, Store Manager of the new ALDI Dooradoyle, said: “We’re proud to be opening our new store in Dooradoyle and bringing ALDI to even more shoppers in Limerick. At ALDI, it’s not complicated: we offer great quality products at low everyday prices.
“That has been the goal at ALDI since 1999, and it hasn’t changed. I am incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received locally so far, and I look forward to welcoming our new Dooradoyle customers in-store to enjoy great value, quality produce, and an easy, enjoyable shopping experience.”
