THE HISTORY OF ALDI
The German discount supermarket chain came to Ireland in 1999.
Aldi's first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork.
By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices.
As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi's popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious.
The supermarket giant continued it's expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores.
By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country.
The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers.
In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland.
The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products.
Aldi chiefs said: 'At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand.
'To date, we've invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers.
'As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.'
Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.

‘Need this so much it hurts' cry shoppers as they leg it to Tesco for denim summer dress that's giving noughties vibes
IF you're searching for the perfect beer garden or festival outfit this summer, then Tesco's got you covered. The supermarket's in-house fashion label, F&F, is renowned for its stylish buys at affordable prices. 3 Shoppers are racing to Tesco for a new £25 denim dress Credit: Getty 3 Shoppers insist the denim frock is giving noughties vibes Credit: Tesco 3 It's already sold out in many sizes online And fashion fans have insisted the new denim dress is a must-have for summer, and they "need it so much it hurts". The 'OH ME OH MY Pure Cotton Halter Neck Denim Dress' is priced at £25. The supermarket find ranges from a size 6 to a size 22 and is available to order online. It is made from 100% cotton, making it perfect for the warmer months, whether you're relaxing on holiday or enjoying the sun in the UK. Read more in Fabulous The denim frock can be dressed up with sandals for an elevated look or worn with trainers or boots for a casual outfit for the perfect festival vibe. According to Tesco bosses, the F&F buy is a ' retro-inspired addition to your summer collection". Their online description adds: "Featuring a collared halter neckline and button down front, standout seam details add a sophisticated feel. "Wear solo on sunny days or add a chunky knitted cardigan for extra warmth when needed." Most read in Fabulous Fashion fans beam Fashion fan Not only this, but it's also amassed 23,000 likes and 230 comments, with many social media users left seriously impressed. I work at Tesco and there's so much newness in store - I love it all, but a holiday co-ord is sure to be a sell out "This is a need and a want, it's a must", one cried. A second wrote: "I had one of these back in 2000s." "It's coming back into fashion", echoed a third. A fourth gushed: "Omg I need it RIGHT NOW." A fifth insisted: "That is gorggg I'm going tomoz !!!" Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: "I NEED this so much it hurts." Reasons to shop supermarket fashion When looking for new pieces to add to your seasonal wardrobe, or update your basics, there's no need to spend hours walking around clothes shops, or scrolling online. Just pick up a dress or two alongside your fruit and veg... They're convenient - Chances are you visit your supermarket more times than a shopping centre or high street. It's affordable - For basics to more fashion-led pieces, supermarkets are leading the way for budget fashion that doesn't look cheap. They're more on-trend that you think - With a customer database larger than the average high street store, shops like ASDA, Sainsbury's and Tesco are able to cater to the markets and predict trends in a lot more areas than just food supply. They fit well - Fits and lengths often come with a little more modesty in mind. Fabrics are often highly practical too—think plenty of 100% cotton that can be thrown into the washing machine without thought The supermarket frock's not the only noughties fashion buy that's got shoppers talking this week. Fashionistas have been left totally divided after spotting an iconic noughties trend that has made its way back to the high-street. The bandage dress first hit the catwalk back in 1989 as the grand finale of Hervé Léger's runway show, but it wasn't until the likes of Victoria Beckham and other celebrities went crazy for the dresses in the 00s that they became mainstream. And now, shoppers will again be able to get their hands on the iconic bandage dresses, as they are now back in House of CB. The much-loved chain took to Instagram to share the exciting news, leaving many totally stunned. Alongside the social media post showing off the new frocks, the chain penned: 'She's baaaaaack. Shop the birthday bandage collection now and be ready to serve some cake.' But many are fuming and are describing it as 'cheap and tacky'.

I tried Jaffa Cake dupes from Dunnes Stores, Lidl, Aldi and Tesco – and €1.59 winner was BETTER than original
JAFFA Cakes are one of those treats that everyone seems to love – whether it be with a cuppa or by themselves, they are always welcome in Irish households. And I set out to find which ones are the best from Aldi, Tesco, Lidl and Dunnes Stores. Advertisement 3 I taste tested Jaffa Cake dupes from Ireland's top four supermarkets Credit: Journalist Collect 3 One of them was a clear winner Dunnes Stores I started with The packaging looked promising and the cakes themselves had that familiar shape - chocolate top, sponge base and the all-important orange jelly in the middle. The first bite was nice but a little bit underwhelming - the cake was a little dry and the orange filling lacked punch. And although it tasted more sugary than citrusy, it went well paired up with the dark Advertisement READ MORE IN MONEY I certainly wouldn't say no if they were offered to me and I might even find myself eating quite a few in one sitting. All in all, I would rate these a solid 6.5/10. Aldi Ireland Next up were the Belmont Jaffa cakes from Aldi, a pack for only €1.59 - and this is where things took a turn. Straight away, the dark chocolate was a real standout and the cake was light and spongy.

The Sun tries Wetherspoons' new menu Aldi's version was the only one I paused mid-bite to check the box again. They absolutely nailed it and I would rate them a solid 9/10. Advertisement Tesco Ireland Then came Tesco, where you'd get the The largest versions I have seen so far, I'll admit that I had mild hopes for them - but they fell flat. At first taste, the sponge was dense and extremely dry - it tasted like it had been left in someone's cupboard for quite a few years. And unfortunately for my taste buds it didn't get any better after that. Advertisement The chocolate tasted extremely low quality and the orange filling was more like diluted jam — sweet, but with none of that bright citrus flavour you want. I would say it seemed like an afterthought, but I don't know what I didn't feel the need to go back for another and would rate these a 4/10. Lidl Ireland Finally, Advertisement These were a pleasant surprise - the sponge was soft, the chocolate had a decent taste and the filling had a good citrusy flavour - not too sweet or sugary. Although they lacked what Aldi's version had, in a blind test I might have mistaken them for something far more I would happily indulge myself in them all day and I would rate them a solid 8/10. In the end, Aldi's Belmont Jaffa cakes are the clear winner - full of flavour, balanced texture and left you wanting more. Advertisement 3 Aldi Ireland's Jaffa Cakes placed first overall

Aldi launches pretty £3 plant that flowers every week until September and turns your garden into a bee-friendly paradise
ALDI is launching a blooming great bargain just in time for summer – Butterfly Lavender for only £3.79 each, in shades of purple, pink and white. Available in stores across the UK, including in places like Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, from Thursday 12 June. Advertisement 2 Butterfly Lavender, also known as French Lavender, is loved for its frilly blooms and aromatic leaves Not only will it brighten up your garden, but it'll also fill the air with a sweet scent for months and attract buzzing bees. Butterfly Lavender, also known as French Lavender, is loved for its frilly blooms and aromatic leaves. It flowers from late spring right through summer and even into autumn if looked after properly. It will go dormant in winter, and return bigger and bushier next year if maintained properly. Advertisement Read More Aldi stories How to care for lavender To get the most out of your lavender, plant it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Once it's settled in, it won't need much watering – in fact, it prefers to stay on the dry side. French lavender typically flowers from late spring into early autumn, with a peak bloom period between May and September. Some varieties, like Lavandula stoechas 'Papillon' and 'Tiara', are known for their continuous flowering from late spring to early autumn. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous After French lavender flowers, you should trim the spent flower stalks to encourage more blooms and keep the plant compact. Aldi is selling a cheap $4.49 item that will transform your garden into a colorful summer paradise You can also prune the plant back in late summer or early spring to rejuvenate it and prevent it from becoming woody. French lavender is a versatile herb with various culinary and creative applications. Beyond its beautiful scent and visual appeal, it can be used for baking, creating bath products, making essential oils, and even crafting home decor items like sachets or potpourri. Advertisement And Aldi's plant is a bargain! A quick check at B&Q shows similar lavender plants starting at £12. The 5 best flowers to help bees to thrive Nature experts at Faith In Nature have shared the 5 best flowers Brits can plant in their gardens to help bees thrive. Rebecca Miller, Fabulous' Associate Editor and keen gardener explains why "bees are brilliant". "They are vital. They pollinate our food and play a crucial role in our ecosystem. But climate change, the increasing use of pesticides and loss of habitat means bees are endangered. No matter how big your garden or outside space is, you can plant a flower or two to help bees." Lavender Lavender can thrive in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. It's fragrant and flowers all-summer-long meaning it's a big hit with bees - especially bumble bees. Sunflowers This cheery flower giant are bee-magnets. And if you look closely at a sunflower head, the big 'flowers' are actually a cluster of small flowers, called an inflorescence which attract pollinators. Ideally, grow sunflowers in groups to provide nectar and pollen for as many bees as possible. At the end of summer, collect the dried seeds from the sunflower heads to feed the birds or plant next year. Heather These abundant, bell-shaped blooms are brimming with nectar and pollen – which is good news for bees. Cornflowers A vivid blue wildflower, cornflowers are often planted alongside other meadow blooms, like ox-eye daisies and poppies. They grow on tall stems and are packed with nectar, making them particularly attractive to bees. Cornflowers bloom for a long time and are simple to grow, so they're perfect for first-time gardeners and experienced alike. Crocuses (and snowdrops) Later this summer, when you're starting to plan for your Spring displays, consider crocuses and snowdrops. They provide bees, such as the queen buff-tailed bumblebee and male hairy-footed flower bees, with vital early pollen as they emerge from their winter hibernation. Over at Waitrose Garden and Hillier, prices range from £7.99 to £13.99, depending on the size and variety. This is the latest in a string of green-fingered savings from ALDI. Earlier this month, rival Lidl launched a range of garden plants starting from just £1.99, undercutting pricier garden centres and online sellers.
