The new store opening also provided a welcome boost for Graiguenamanagh Abbey Hall, with the discount supermarket donating €5,000 to help support the cherished local amenity.
Abbey Hall Committee members joined in the opening day celebrations, where they were presented with their cheque in-store.
On hand to officially open the new store was the Mayor of Kilkenny, Cllr. Peter Cleere, who together with Aldi’s Graiguenamanagh store manager David Rossiter, welcomed the store’s first customers.
The new store is fitted out as an Aldi ‘Project Fresh’ store, which includes a large shop floor spanning 12,000sq ft, wide aisles, hi-spec fixtures and fittings and 93 car parking spaces. The Graiguenamanagh store is Aldi’s fourth store in Kilkenny, bringing the total number of Irish stores to 136.
