ALDI to submit plans for a new store opening in Co. Kildare in 2025

ALDI Ireland today submitted a planning application to Kildare County Council for a new €9.4M store located on Church Street in Kilcock, Co. Kildare.

ALDI is aiming to open the store in summer 2025, making it the tenth ALDI store to open in Kildare since 2004. The new Kilcock store will create up to 30 permanent jobs at the new store.

Once open, the 1315sqm store will feature ALDI’s award-winning Project Fresh layout. There will be 114 car parking spaces available for customers and 20 bike parking spaces. ALDI will also be investing in the future of Kilcock through the provision of four electric vehicle charging points, while the store will be powered by 100% green electricity and will feature 90 sqm of solar panels on the roof.

ALDI partners with 11 food producers in Kildare including Coghlan’s Artisan Bakery based in Naas. In 2022, ALDI sourced €10.7M of locally produced food and drink from Co. Kildare based suppliers. Currently, ALDI works with over 330 Irish food and drink producers and spent €1.1B with its Irish suppliers in 2022.

To date, ALDI’s Kildare stores have donated over 70,000 meals to local charities through FoodCloud, saving the charities over €88,500. Each store is also part of ALDI’s Community Grants network, with Samaritans Newbridge one of the local charities that have availed of the €500 bursary grant in recent years.

Colin Breslin, Managing Director of Buying and Services, ALDI Ireland said, “We’re delighted to submit our plans today for a store in Kilcock and to commit to further investment in Co. Kildare. Kilcock will be our tenth store in Co. Kildare and will be a great addition to our expanding store network.

“There will be 114 car parking spaces available for customers, 20 bike parking spaces and we will be investing in the future of Kilcock through the provision of four electric vehicle charging points.

“Every new ALDI store brings greater choice, quality, and value to shoppers which is important now more than ever before.”
