Aldi Ireland are to create 30 new permanent jobs in Ballina, County Mayo after the local authority granted planning permission to build a new store in the town.
Expected to open in 2022, the new store will also create 50 jobs during the construction phase.
The store will feature 80 car parking spaces, EV-charging stations and a bicycle stand unit.
Commenting, Colin Breslin, Regional Managing Director, Aldi Ireland said: “We are very excited to be coming to Ballina.
"This is fantastic news for shoppers and employment in the town.
“Aldi has a strong commitment to Mayo, opening a new store in Belmullet last summer which was welcomed in the local area, meaning we now operate four stores in the county."
Aldi’s four Mayo stores participate in its national partnership with FoodCloud, donating surplus food to local charities daily.
The Mayo stores have donated over 17,000 meals to charity to date.
Each store is also part of Aldi’s Community Grants network, with Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation and the Western Care Association among those availing of the bursary grant in recent times.
