Aldi Ireland has today reopened its store in Clifden, Co. Galway, after a six-month closure due to damage caused by Storm Éowyn.
In addition to the necessary repair works, the store has been fully refurbished to include a new in-store bakery and self-service checkouts.
This move is part of Aldi’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, affordable groceries and a vital place of employment for the people of Galway.
The local team, led by store manager Barbara Hehir, officially opened the new store this morning, alongside Irish Rugby Union Coach and Former International Player, John Muldoon.
Aldi Clifden originally opened in 2009 and it currently employs 16 people from the local community.
The reopening stands as a testament to the dedication of Aldi’s local team and the skill of builders and tradespeople involved in the refurbishment.
On the reopening, Barbara Hehir said, “I’m proud to reopen the Clifden store, a store that has become so meaningful to the local community.
“Throughout the time we’ve been closed, the support we’ve received both from Aldi and the community in Clifden has been amazing and I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with our Clifden customers again.”
Muldoon added, “The commitment and hard work of al the team has ensure a smooth return to business.
“As a Galway native, I’m aware of the importance of this store to the local community and I’m incredibly proud to be associated with a company that’s so deeply committed to supporting Irish communities and businesses and continue to deliver high-quality, affordable and nutritious food across Ireland.”
