Aldi Ireland has announced plans to open a new shop in Castlecomer in Co Kilkenny, which will create 25 permanent jobs.
Expected to open in 2022, the new store in Castlecomer will also create 100 jobs during the construction phase.
The new 1,315 square metre store will be located in the centre of Castlecomer, on the site of the town's former creamery.
The site, which was vacant for several years, is being developed by Greenstripe Ltd, and will feature Aldi's store as the anchor tenant, along with additional retail, office and residential units as part of the development.
The new store will be Aldi's sixth in Co Kilkenny, with stores already on Waterford Road and Hebron Road in Kilkenny Town, Graiguenamanagh, Ferrybank and Callan.
