Aldi reopens upgraded Kildare store this week
Tomas Brchl
ALDI will officially reopen its Jigginstown store in Naas this Thursday at 8am following a €4 million upgrade and expansion.
The Jigginstown store originally opened in 2011 and has become an essential part of Naas’s retail landscape. The store has been closed since 7 June to facilitate the refurbishment works. Aldi other Naas store, located on the Monread Road, had its own €3.5 million upgrade in 2025.
The newly expanded Jigginstown store includes the addition of a new bakery serving. The revamped premises will have four new electric charging points, two standard EV charging spaces and two accessible EV charging spaces, along with 10 bike parking spaces.
The redesign follows ALDI’s award-winning ‘Project Fresh’ layout, providing shoppers with an improved shopping experience and a larger floor space, which has expanded by more than a third from 846 sqm to 1,142 sqm.
Welcoming the development, Tomas Brchl, ALDI Jigginstown Store Manager, said: “We’re counting down the days until we can welcome the people of Naas back through our doors. The €4 million investment isn’t just about upgrading the store; it’s about creating a better shopping experience for our customers, while continuing to offer great value.
“Having worked with ALDI since 2014, I’ve witnessed the company’s growth first-hand, making it especially rewarding to lead the reopening of our newly renovated Jigginstown store.
"We’re proud to be part of the local community and look forward to welcoming customers back through our doors."
Mr Brchl has more than a decade of experience with ALDI, having started his career in 2014 as a Store Assistant in ALDI Santry. Over the years, he has worked across a number of stores, including Bray, Swords, Rathmines, Trim, and Portlaoise, building extensive retail experience and a deep understanding of the business. Mr Brchl is excited for the future of the newly renovated store as it reopens its doors to customers.
Aldi’s investment in Kildare has made a capital investment of over €55m in Kildare since it opened its first store in Clane in 2004.
