Aldi’s Main Street, Ballincollig ‘Project Fresh’ store has reopened its doors to customers following an extensive renovation project which has seen the store completely refurbished as part a €160m investment by Aldi into its Irish store network.
Aldi has committed €100m to constructing and opening 20 new stores, while Project Fresh sees Aldi invest a further €60m in revamping the layout and design of all of its 140 stores nationwide.
The newly refurbished store has received a full makeover in line with Aldi’s award-winning Project Fresh design.
Featuring the new layout, Aldi’s Main Street, Ballincollig store offers a wide selection of fresh food at the front of the store, hi-spec fixtures and fittings and new signage that provides a more efficient and hassle-free shopping experience. The carpark has been extended to include 20 bicycling spaces and 14 additional car parking spaces, making a total of 103 spaces available for customers.
The store will be powered by 100% green electricity. Aldi has invested heavily in improving its energy management systems and its entire store network is now powered by 100% wind generated energy.

In total, Aldi now operates 23 stores in Cork.
