Killaloe traders oppose Aldi store

The arrival of a proposed 1,655sq metre Aldi store in Killaloe, Co Clare, would generate a turnover of €9.12m in 2018, according to the promoters.

Existing shop floorspace in Killaloe includes a SuperValu supermarket at Convent Hill shopping centre, the Forge Newsagents, Whelan’s foodstore and Heaney’s Costcutters.

Killaloe traders, who are opposed to the arrival of the German multinational in the town, have requested the council to turn down this planning application.
