Aldi store in Co Kilkenny reopens its doors today!

Excitement is at fever pitch in Callan this morning with news that the town's new revamped Aldi store reopened its doors at 9am this morning.

The local Aldi store had been closed for the past three weeks while expansion works were in progress.

The supermarket was recently granted permission for the construction of an extension to the existing single storey discount foodstore, including off-licence use (to north, south and western elevations) by c. 343m2 additional gross floor area.

The gross floor area of the store will now be increased from c. 1,453m2 (net retail area of 990m2) to c. 1,796m2 (net retail area 1,316m2). The increased space has also lead to more car parking spaces. 

It's understood four more people have been employed by the outlet as a result of the expansion.

The German supermarket chain was officially opened in the Kilkenny town in 2013 by ten-time All-Ireland winner hurler with Kilkenny, Henry Shefflin.
