A well known international discount food chain has received planning permission to open a new store in North Longford. ALDI Stores Ltd is to construct a new 6.8 million euro food store in Granard, creating up to 30 permanent jobs in the local area. The plans call for the demolition of an existing building, associated car park and boundary wall on lands on Barrack Lane in the town.
ALDI want to construct a single storey foodstore, including off-license, with a gross floor area of 1,832 metres squared. The development would have vehicular/pedestrian access from Barrack Lane, 110 car parking spaces and 20 bicycle spaces. The store will be powered by 100% green electricity and will feature 245 solar panels on the roof. The German company is hoping to open the store in 2025.
