Lidl Ireland has revealed plans to invest €600 million in the development of 35 new stores and a new Regional Distribution Centre over the next five years.
A significant portion of the investment, €200 million, will go towards establishing a new regional distribution centre in Cork. This facility aims to enhance Lidl's logistical infrastructure in the south and southeast regions as the company continues its ambitious expansion.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Robert Ryan, CEO of Lidl Ireland and Northern Ireland, confirmed that 12 of these new stores are expected to open within the next 12 months across various locations in Ireland.
The investment aligns with Lidl's ongoing commitment to growth and operational efficiency, ensuring better service and accessibility for its customers nationwide.
"We’ll open in Carndonagh in Donegal, we’ll open a store in Moycullen (Maigh Cuillin) in Co Galway, we’ll open a second store in Wexford town, and one in Ballybough in the north inner city," he said.
"We’re also delighted this morning to be opening a new store in Enfield in Co Meath," he added.
"All of that really continues to rubber stamp our investment in Ireland and each of these have construction jobs associated with them, and we employ about 35 to 40 people in each of the stores."
