Aldi to take up residence at Elysian
The rapidly expanding German retail chain is to seek planning permission early in the new year for a standard-sized, 17,000 sq ft Aldi supermarket at the south-west corner of the 17-storey building, facing the south city link road.
It is the most high-profile site the company has set its sights on so far. It already has five Cork City stores, two in Ballincollig, and has more than a dozen planned for the city and county, with more than 20 proposed for Munster, all to be served from its €100m Aldi distribution centre in Mitchelstown, which opened in September.
