Good news on the jobs front.

Aldi Ireland has announced plans to open four new stores over the next six months, creating 80 new jobs. New stores will open in Rathnew in Wicklow and Blanchardstown in Dublin in October and November this year. Aldi also announced new stores in Dunshaughlin in Meath and Sutton in Dublin, which will open their doors before the end of February 2021. Aldi said it is focused on working to double its footprint of stores within Dublin, adding to the 22 it already operates. Recruitment for the roles is now underway, while the retailer has also confirmed it will be resuming its Project Fresh store refurbishment programme from September, revamping nine Aldi stores before the end of February next year. Aldi’s Arklow store will be the first store refurbished following the resumption, with work commencing on the project from 14 September. The company employs over 4,000 people and operates a network of 143 stores across the country, with stores in each county here.
