    past it for the 1st time today (usually go daul carriage out to cresent or whatever)
    wasn't exactly were i thought it was, very close though i thought it was on the road between the kilmallock roundabout and the roundabout beside tesco on the left
    would of been good there
    but 100m down the road is no big deal :D

    Its open, and once again the council ****ed up.
    The traffic lights dont change unless someone presses the button, and every car park, including the other companies there are full.
    The exit has one lane, with pedestrian lights only and everyone wants to turn right, so it jams up the exit for about 3 mins per car.
    Well done whoever gave planning permission, tools.

    I wonder if it's better to park down the road (by the Plumbing supply center) and walk across? .... :confused:

    Parking around the whole area sounds crap !!!! :(

    haven't been up there for ages so not really looking forward to checking out ALDI .... :cool:

    Yes but not the old Krups building itself. You come in the entrance of Krupts/Corus but it is on your right next to the new hotel that is also being built there.

    The traffic was insane there today. I was coming in the N21 southern bypass and the traffic was built up from the Carew Park roundabout the whole way into Roxboro. Lucky for me I stay on the N21 towards Castletroy on the way home.

    Another master plan in traffic management by our city council.

    anyone else think that the aldi sign was a bit hidden?
    you wouldnt really notice it unless your looking for it imo
    they should of put the sign more out on the road like lidls and you cant see the building from the road at all can you?
    anyway by the sounds of it the store sells good products so i must try it

    Yeah, that old Krupts pepple dashed wall running around the outside should be taken away. It looks terrible and hides any notion there is a super market (and soon to be hotel) behind it.

    Ok so I went out there this evening, and I have to say its pretty sh!te. I knew I shouldnt have expected much but I feel Lidl is better, in saying that though , both suck.

    Shopping in LIDL (and I guess ALDI) involves a 'learning Curve' .... it's good fun and you can get some real bargains once you know the ropes, but don't expect to do your weekly shopping there .... too few items/choices for that .... :)

    ya looks that the magazine lidl and aldi send out every week in the newspapers
    the odd time you might see something you really like
    i love lidl's bottles water
    30c for half a litre
    we buy like 5 6packs a week
    so cheap

    been there today. not bad. the clockwise system is a bit weird. and so the layout is.

    poor them with the cars!

    enjoyed a stroll in the roxboro shopping center as well. what a great place this huge crap-shop with the shelves is! i love those places! two huge bags to carry home: one from ALDI and one from the crap-shop.

    The receipt says "Club Cash & Carry - Irelands first wholesale club". Open sundays and bank holidays! You can see it live and in Technicolor (R) even today!

    But it's getting off-topic now :)

    I went on sunday, and got there about two minutes before it was due to open. I waited in the car as there was a mob of about 50 people milling around the door waiting to get in!

    Slightly smaller than the ennis one for some bits. Not bad though.

    I don't know why everyone is getting so excited about it, it's just another dump like Lidl.

    I mean there's nothing of any value in there, cheap crap speicals like lidl, big deal.

    I used to work for them, so I'm just bitter.

    You seem a big fan so I'm sorry for any offence caused.
