Aldi Ireland has announced that it will open its first store in Donabate later this month, marking the retailer’s 166th store in the country.

The new €15 million Dublin store will be Aldi’s 27th in the county and create 30 permanent jobs for the area when it opens on Thursday 27 November.

To celebrate the Turvey Avenue store opening, customers will be able to enjoy a festive atmosphere on opening day, with treats and live entertainment, as well as some special VIP guests.

Last year, Aldi celebrated 25 years in Ireland, having grown from an initial two stores in 1999 to 165 locations nationwide.

Recently, Aldi welcomed its billionth Irish customer on the opening day of its Monaghan Town store, and to celebrate, lucky shopper Colleen McCrudden received a year’s worth of free shopping.

The retailer now employs over 4,800 people nationwide.

On Saturday, 13th December at 10am, SSP Team Dublin will brave the chilly waters at Donabate Beach for a cause close to our hearts – Dip in for LauraLynn.

LauraLynn is Ireland’s only children’s hospice, providing vital care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families. Every splash we make helps raise awareness and funds for this incredible organization.

This isn’t just a dip – it’s a statement. We make the difference.
Join us, cheer us on, or donate to support LauraLynn’s life-changing work.

Katy Perry is set play a headline show at Dublin's Malahide Castle next summer.
