A new Aldi store in Adamstown officially opened today, creating 30 local jobs.
The store is located at The Crossings in Adamstown and is the 25 Aldi to open in Dublin. The retailer currently employs 673 people in Dublin with a €20.3 million total salary spend across its 25 stores in the capital.
Construction of the new 1,366sqm store cost €2.9 million. It features wide aisles and hi-spec fixtures and fittings. Parking will be shared over the total development, meaning Aldi shoppers can make use of over 400 car parking spaces and 45 electric vehicle charging spaces.

As well as this, there will be 10 bike parking spaces outside the Aldi store. The store has been designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible, powered by 100% green electricity and featuring solar panels on the roof of the store that will contribute towards the overall electrical demand for the store - powering items such as energy saving lights and ALDI’s new chiller fridges.
Aldi Adamstown Store Manager Dmitri Sakovits said he is "delighted" to open Aldi's 156th Irish store today. "This new store, and the 30 new jobs created, will support our ambition to deliver value to the people of Dublin at the locations most convenient to them.
"As a leading retailer in Ireland, we are very conscious of the current challenges facing consumers and businesses. The cost-of-living crisis is impacting every household and we know what it means for our customers. ALDI Ireland is steadfast in our belief that continued investment in our value offering and our store network is key.
"Working alongside our strong network of local suppliers, we will continue to work hard, mindful of the challenges facing our customers and supporting them in weathering this storm.
"Households and families in Adamstown and the surrounding areas can now shop at their local ALDI and enjoy our range of great quality fresh produce, Irish ingredients and household products at value that just won’t be beaten. Our promise to our Dublin customers is that we will never be beaten on price, and we will always provide the best value when they shop with us.”
