Second ALDI store to open in Tullamore tomorrow morning

The new ALDI supermarket in Tullamore will officially open its doors to the public tomorrow morning, Thursday, November 28 at 8am.

Representing an investment of €9.8 million, Tullamore's newest supermarket is located in the heart of the town, on a site at Kilbride Plaza that was formerly the home of the Texas Department Store. The new store is expected to see the creation of 30 permanent jobs.

Along with 1,644 sq. metres of retail space which includes off licence use, the new ALDI development incorporates a three-storey 874 sq. metre retail/office unit and a two-storey 281 sq. metre cafe. Car and bicycle parking is also provided for, as well as both pedestrian and cycle access to nearby Offaly Street.

Planning permission for the ALDI supermarket project was granted to Weavermay Ltd, a company headed up by local businessman Tony Flanagan, in 2022 and work began on clearing the Texas site late last year to make way for the new development.

ALDI spent more than €23 million with six Offaly-based suppliers last year, and now has 162 stores, including an existing Tullamore store in Cloncollig and also a store in Birr.

The new Tullamore ALDI store will be officially opened by the local team, led by Store Manager, Yasmin Rourke, tomorrow morning at 8am and all are welcome to drop by and browse the many opening offers in the town's newest supermarket.
