    Yeah they are supposedly.

    Also in a month or two an Evergreen healthfood shop will be opening up in the unit beside Tescos main entrance.

    Almost finished. In the space of 5 years Oranmore will have gone from 1 supermarket (Supervalu) to 4 (Supervalu, Tesco, Lidl and Aldi)

    dont have a clue but going by the state of the country youd have a better chance of winning the lotto.

    they will probably have 4000 applications id say

    Any idea when Aldi in Oranmore is opening? I heard it was supposed to open in November but that never happened. They appear to be landscaping entrance at the moment so I assume it will be soon. Any one know anything more?

    Yo,

    I was just @ Tesco in Oranmore today and I did not see any signs of any Aldi there (perhaps I did not look well 'nuff) - it there really an Aldi being opened there and is it as close as I read with entrance landscaping etc.
    E.g where is this entrance etc. ??

    Cheers,
    Stone

    Tesco may aswell shut their doors and keep them shut when Aldi opens..lidl might get hit too cos its not to far away from there..

    I think Lidl will take the biggest hit. I'm more likely to shop in Tesco when Aldi opens (and never shop in Lidl). I'll park outside Aldi and do my "main" shop at Aldi. Whatever branded stuff I can't get it Aldi, I'll nip into Tesco for it.

    Why, Tesco on Headford Road is opposite an ALDI and still trading?

    Other way around, Tesco bags are more durable.

    Been sending out emails to Aldi asking where to apply for the job and all they tell me is to look it up on their website but there's nothing there...
