Aldi – an abbreviation of Albrecht Discount – is one of the world’s leading grocery retailers. The first stores opened in the Ruhr Valley over 40 years ago and the company has seen rapid growth resulting in a network of over 7,000 stores throughout mainland Europe, USA, UK and more recently Australia and Ireland. Our international growth has been achieved by our adherence to a very single minded company philosophy: we offer the customer a carefully selected range of high-quality exclusive own-label products at heavily discounted prices.What’s more, these prices are guaranteed week in, week out.

This unique retailing concept has proved both simple and extremely effective, establishing Aldi as a formidable retail force, which continues to explore further international opportunities.

Wherever Aldi is established it dominates the discount sector by setting new standards in both price and quality.
In 1999 Aldi opened its first stores in the Republic of Ireland. Stores are now trading in Dublin, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Longford, Offaly, Louth, Mayo, Cavan, Tipperary, Kerry, Kildare, Westmeath, Wexford, Clare, Meath, Limerick, Roscommon, Wicklow,  Kilkenny, Waterford, Laois and Carlow.  Subsequent openings will see the chain develop a presence throughout the Republic of Ireland.
