Aldi has unveiled plans to open a new supermarket as part of a €160million investment in Ireland.
The new store is expected to open in Shannon, Co Clare, at the start of 2023.
The German retailer said the construction of the new facility will create 80 jobs and a further 20 permanent positions when it opens.
Aldi has submitted a planning application for the 1,315sqm store located close to the town centre at Airport Road to Clare County Council.
Adam Ward, Regional Managing Director at Aldi, said: “We are very excited to be coming to Shannon.
"This is fantastic news for shoppers and employment in the town.
"Every new Aldi store that opens brings greater choice, quality and value to shoppers.
“Aldi has a strong commitment to Co Clare, operating four stores in the county.
"Our new Shannon store will bring great value to the doorsteps of locals who previously had to travel to shop at Aldi.”
There will be 106 car parking spaces available for customers as well as bike parking facilities.
