Aldi in Dublin 15

Murt10

Anyone got any idea of when Aldi plan to open a shop in Dublin 15.

I know they applied for planning permission to open in Clonsilla Village, but that was knocked on the head, as they wanted it as part of an unsuitable high density residential development.

Lidl on the other hand has Dublin 15 shops in the Centre, Blakestown, Ongar and Clonee.

Given the massive size of the population and catchment area of Dublin 15 I am really surprised that they have not opened a store here.

Tesco express is going to kill Spar there, and they're spending money doing it up at the moment.

I noticed the vacant garage/car showroom place beside the fire station has been sold.

My be in an interesting location for an Aldi. Although traffic would be chaotic. But that tends be the last thing considered.

Is that the old Renault garage? The one with the Topaz garage behind it. Would be a great location I reckon, lots of good road frontage. Don't imagine in the current climate that another car showroom will be opening up there any time soon...

Traffic considerations was the reason given to refuse permission at the original site Aldi wanted to use on the clonsilla road.

Well that would have been chaotic all right! Not quite as bad there opposite the petrol station!

Nice to see Clonee will have 2 large supermarkets Aldi and Lidl. They really should as one of the earlier posters mentioned do something with the town. It really looks run down these days IMO. Browns an abandoned shell, McDonalds boarded up with the bars on the windows, the house across the road burnt out. Who actually looks after Clonee village? Meath County Council?

spooky donkey

Well Aldi going to clonee with certinally take me away from a lot of shopping options in Blanch. May add to the traffic for clonee but that could only help busniess there. The town does need a boost.

Just to veer off-topic slightly, I was in the new Tesco Express in Mulhuddart today. Didn't realise it's not a new building but just a shop in the back of the Shanty pub, am I right there? Anyway it's great. they have a good selection of stuff at good prices and you can use your clubcard as well, and it's half way on my drive home from work so reckon I will stop in there quite a bit.

Until Aldi opens anyway!

Yup, the just renovated the old Ice nightclub at the back of the pub, and a very good job they've done too! The only complaint I have is the local kiddies seem to like messing with the self service tills $:\$ but the novelty should soon wear off!

LOL - reminds me of when Dunnes put in an escalator (the first in our town) years ago. All the little gurriers were running backwards and sliding up and down it. As you said, the novelty wears off.

hi,what advantage will i have if in Clonee will be LIDL and ALDI !?
Are they not having same owner and/or same range of products !??

Morag

They don't have the same ranges of products, they are two different chains.

jeffk

Aldi do super 6, which is six different fruit/vegetables that they discount each week.

Aldi seem to stock more different stock.

Lidl will or do have a bakery.

Both can have similar electrical items, so twice the chance of getting what you need.

They will be 5 minutes from each other, handy to price both shops and compare and pick the best deals.

The more non "big name" shops in the area puts pressure on the named shops and hopefully in turn the customers win with cheaper and a better selection.

Arciphel

Yeah, I think the selection and quality of stuff in Aldi is a bit better than Lidl.

ronan45

Looks like there are a few apartments going in also

Cheers for posting that Ronan, it looks good...

apartments seem a silly thing to be building in this day and age, unless nama want to add to their 32 billion of property loans.

They are owned by 2 brothers, each owning either an Aldi or a Lidl. I think there was a falling out so they set up rival stores.

Aldi is part of Albrecht Discount group. They own Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud. Aldi Sud operates in Ireland. The Schwarz family own Lidl they're two completely different groups.
