    Yes. It's due to open in May 2019 opposite Romayos.
    Date has been pushed back a few times but it's largely built now so don't see it delaying much further.

    More or less finished the main build, say they are ahead of schedule due to the good weather.

    It's a bit hidden, but they always do well.

    I haven't seen this Aldi in Ashtown but if you go by Lidl in Castleknock (i'm sure they work off a similar blueprint) that didn't look close to finished the day before it opened!

    This will be a god send. The Lidl around the corner is so sh!te and never properly stocked. I used to shop in Aldi and it is a much better organised shop with nicer products

    I got a flyer in the door, no special offers like they used to do.

    They would give 30% or Half price for a week, nothing, ah well.

    ...and it's open!! 75 free car parking spaces for customers. As parking is in short supply there, they'll definitely have clampers circulating for non customers or commuters trying to use it!
