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.
