Aldi Stores (Ireland) Limited
Aldi - A Story of Success
With roots dating back to 1913, Aldi (short for Albrecht Discount) entered the Irish market in 1999. Aldi is Ireland’s fastest growing supermarket* and one of the world’s most successful retailers. We have a vast network of nearly 140 stores across the country and ambitious plans to open many more. There are currently more than 6,200 stores across our international portfolio including stores in Ireland, the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA.
We're bursting with pride here at Aldi Ireland. We’re one of the country’s fastest-growing supermarket chains, and one of the most awarded retailers at the Irish Quality Food Awards, the Great Taste Awards and the Blas na hÉireann awards. We currently have 140 stores, and ambitious plans to open many more (you’ll also find thousands of Aldi stores across the world from Germany and Hungary, to Switzerland and Slovenia).
But, without the hard work and commitment of our people, it would be very different. Which is why we’re dedicated to being the best supermarket employer in Ireland.
