ALDI Ireland has opened its newest store in Donabate in North County Dublin, creating 30 permanent local jobs.
The new €15m store represents a significant investment by the retailer in Ireland and is the retailer's 166th store in Ireland and its 27th in Co Dublin.
ALDI first established a presence in the Irish market in 1999, opening two stores on the same day, including one on Parnell Street, in Dublin City Centre.
The retailer employs over 700 people across the county and it spent over €244m with local suppliers in Dublin last year.
As part of a nationwide trial, ALDI has begun installing self-service checkouts at selected stores, including the brand-new Donabate location, which will feature seven self-service terminals. Traditional staffed checkout lines will remain in operation alongside the new self-service tills, it added.
