Aldi shares full list of 28 Irish towns in the running for new store openings
Aldi is set to expand its presence in Ireland, unveiling a full list of locations where it hopes to open new stores in the coming months and years. As one of the country's most popular supermarket chains, Aldi is keen to bring its affordable prices and popular product range to even more Irish communities, both in rural towns and busy city centres. While Aldi currently operates 163 stores across Ireland, with shops in every single county, the company has ambitious plans to increase its footprint significantly. The expansion aims to make Aldi more accessible to shoppers nationwide, especially in areas where convenient and budget-friendly grocery options are limited. The company is actively seeking suggestions from the public on where demand is strongest. Shoppers are encouraged to nominate their town or area for a potential new Aldi store by emailing NextNewStore@ with their location in the subject line before the deadline of June 8. Aldi plans to share the results and unveil the next round of priority locations later this year. Aldi's Managing Director of National Real Estate, Jonathan Neale, commented: "We've always believed that great quality food should be within everyone's reach and many communities would therefore still benefit from having an Aldi nearby. "We're always looking at key places where we see potential, but we also want to hear directly from the public about where the demand is greatest. Their input is invaluable as we continue to grow and bring Aldi's unbeatable value to more areas."

Lanarkshire locals are in with a chance of winning a year's supply of free beer, thanks to Aldi Scotland. Aldi Scotland is on the hunt for the nation's biggest beer lover, as it revamps its popular Best Home Bar Competition by expanding the criteria. First launched in 2023, the retailer's Best Home Bar has become one of its most famed initiatives, receiving hundreds of entries every year. For 2025, the competition will go one step further, inviting all beer enthusiasts to showcase their passion. Whether it's an extensive collection of craft beers, an encyclopaedic knowledge of brews, or indeed a home bar, Aldi Scotland has set out to find the country's biggest beer lover, and the winner will get a year's supply of beer to commemorate their talents. Entries have now opened with the person who best demonstrates a love and enthusiasm for beer set to receive a 12-month supply of Aldi's craft beer range. In recognition of the many diverse ways people celebrate and appreciate beer, the competition is open to anyone who can demonstrate a true passion for beers, whatever that may be. Judges are looking for the 'wow factor' and will specifically value creative and original submissions. Graham Nicolson, Group Buying Director, Aldi Scotland, said: 'The creativity and passion of Scotland's beer lovers never cease to amaze us. Over the years we've seen some impressive home bars, but we expect there are even more extravagant builds out there. 'That said, we don't want to limit the search to home bars only and invite anyone with an enthusiasm for beer to share their story. 'With longer nights and warmer days, May and June are traditionally our busiest periods for beer sales after Christmas, and we have an excellent line up to share with customers this year. 'At Aldi Scotland we continue to be a champion of home-grown producers and suppliers, and this summer is no different. Many of our beers are crafted right here in Scotland, demonstrating the strength and depth of our brewing industry.'
