A first for ALDI in Athy

Unveils newly renovated Athy “Project Fresh Enhanced” store

ALDI’s Athy “Project Fresh” store has reopened its doors to customers today following an extensive renovation project worth almost €1M, which has seen the store interior completely refurbished.

Athy is the first store to feature a trial of ALDI’s new Project Fresh Enhanced layout. The Athy store now offers a wide selection of fresh food at the front of the store, hi-spec fixtures and fittings throughout the store and new product category signage that provides an effortless shopping experience. The customer-focused layout allows for the products customers know and love to be found more easily, whilst browsing new ranges.

The revamp will, for the first time, see exciting new units such as a fresh herb stand, a dedicated bread and cake fixture, and a Health and Beauty feature installed in-store.

ALDI has invested heavily in improving its energy management systems and its entire store network is now powered by 100% wind generated energy. The retailer has achieved ISO 50001 accreditation in recognition of its efforts to improve energy efficiencies. The renovated Athy store has also received a CO2 upgrade, meaning there will be a more environmentally friendly refrigerant in store.

Operating 9 stores across County Kildare, along with its National Buying head office and one of two Regional Distribution Centre’s, ALDI has become an established part of the Kildare retail landscape.

ALDI employs over 600 permanent staff in Kildare, spending €30M on wages annually.
