Aldi Ireland is planning to open a new store in Cootehill, County Cavan, in a move which it says will bring up to 25 new permanent jobs to the town. An additional 50 jobs will be created during construction of the proposed new store.
Aldi has submitted a planning application for a new 1,315 sqm store to Cavan County Council, which would see the new store centrally located on Station Road close to Market Street.
The new environmentally friendly store which will be constructed in Aldi’s award-winning Project Fresh design, will be powered by 100% green electricity and will feature four electric vehicle charging points outside the store.
According to Aldi, ample parking facilities will be provided for those driving or cycling to the store. There will be 93 car parking spaces available along with 10 bike parking spaces.
“We have been planning to open in Cootehill for some time and are delighted to have identified a site in the town centre,” said Donald Mackay, Aldi regional managing director.
“The environmentally friendly store is designed to meet the shopping needs of the local community and will be landscaped to complement the local area,” Mackay added. “We look forward to investing in Cootehill and bringing our award-winning offer to the people of the town.”
Aldi’s existing store on the Dublin Road, in Cavan town participates in its national partnership with FoodCloud, donating surplus food to local charities daily. Aldi Ireland states the store has donated over 27,000 meals to charity to date. It is also part of Aldi’s Community Grants network, with Cuan Cancer Social Support Centre just of many charities availing of a bursary grant in recent times.
