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.

A new kind of club culture is brewing in Charlotte
House music isn't just for late-night clubs and music festivals anymore. A growing trend is bringing DJs and dance floors into coffee shops for early morning dance parties. Why it matters: If you're a "home by 10pm" type, these daytime coffee raves might be your kind of weekend outing. They cater to a growing crowd looking for the energy and community of a dance floor, without the hangover or long night out. Context: The trend can be traced back to AM Radio, a Los Angeles-based series of early morning dance parties that launched in late 2024. "Club culture is dying, so now we're throwing parties at coffee shops in LA," founder Steve Cardigan said in a viral Instagram reel. What's happening: The trend started seeping into Charlotte coffee shops and other businesses at the start of the year. Some business owners have launched their own morning party series, while other social clubs are partnering with DJs and venues to host pop-ups. A handful of these events offer alcohol, but the rise of alcohol-free spaces is part of the broader trend. Most events are free to attend, aside from the cost of a drink. Between the lines: Daytime dance parties and DJ sets are becoming staples in Charlotte's social scene, not just in coffee shops, but also at events like Boileryard Brunch at Camp North End, Chilly Coffee Club and weekend patio parties at Urban District Market. Caffeto Sessions at Caffeto What to expect: A lively, outdoor dance party hosted by Caffeto, a Colombian coffee truck on North Davidson Street. If you go: Parties happen twice a month on Saturdays at 10am and are free to attend. RnBrew What to expect: Coffee, cocktails, and mocktails set to a blend of R&B, house, afropiano and hip-hop from a rotating list of DJs. Its first event last month took over Indigo Coffee inside Alongside Brewing. If you go: The next party is set for Saturday, April 19. The location will be announced 72 hours in advance through their newsletter and Instagrams. The Morning Mix by CLT Social Club and Radical Grove What to expect: This collaboration between CLT Social Club and local DJ group Radical Grove will kick off in April and recur every third Saturday of the month at varying venues. If you go: The first Morning Mix will be held at The Vintage in South End Saturday, April 19 from 9am-1pm. They'll serve coffee, cocktails like espresso martinis and palomas, plus breakfast burritos from HEX. All parties will be free to attend. The Coffee Set by 4C & Facet Friends What to expect: The Coffee Set launched in March at Uptown coffee shop Lottie's and is a collaboration between local social clubs 4C and Facet Friends. If you go: The next Coffee Set is Saturday, April 12 at 210 E Trade St., inside Queen City Quarter. It's free to attend, but RSVPs are encouraged. An event link will be posted on their respective Instagram accounts. Coffee Beats at Salud Cerveceria What to expect: The Latin-owned NoDa brewery and restaurant hosts its own series, "Coffee Beats," with coffee from Immigrant Culture and beats by Dantek and DJ Fabz. The next date is TBA. Not Just Coffee Jay Street
