ALDI has invested €25m in Waterford since it began trading in the county in 2006.
Grocery retailer ALDI has opened a new €3.8m store in Waterford city.
The new store in Waterford City, located in City Square Shopping Centre, will replace the existing store at The Glen.
“We believe this new store will be a great addition to the area”
It was officially opened by the local team led by store manager Robbie Kavanagh and Munster and Ireland rugby player Jack O’Donoghue.
Powering up with EV charging
The spacious new 1,310sqm store features ALDI’s award-winning Project Fresh layout, with wide aisles and high-spec fixtures and fittings. Parking will be shared over the total development, meaning Aldi shoppers can make use of 500 car parking spaces, five of which are equipped with electric vehicle charging stations.
Additionally, ALDI has introduced self-service checkouts at the brand-new Waterford store which will feature nine self-service checkout terminals.
Existing staffed checkout lines will remain in operation alongside the new self-service tills, with ALDI committed to retaining this service for customers, while continuing to innovate with new initiatives.
The store has been designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. It is powered by 100% green electricity and features electronic shelf labels in store in place of traditional paper price labels, meaning that stock or price changes can be quickly and easily communicated to customers.
“Our team is excited to welcome customers to this new state-of-the-art store in Waterford City centre and provide them with the high-quality products and exceptional service that our customers know and love ALDI for,” said Robbie Kavanagh.
“We believe this new store will be a great addition to the area, offering a wide range of products at unbeatable prices, and we look forward to continuing to serve the people of Waterford for many years to come.”
