New store “enhances Killarney’s retail experience

By Sean Moriarty
Aldi’s new Killarney store on the Park Road was officially opened on Thursday by Mayor Marie Moloney.
Aldi’s nationwide expansion continued with the opening of its new store in Killarney, creating seven permanent jobs in the local area.
Located on Park Road, the store was officially opened on Thursday by the Mayor and store manager Patrick Lawlor.
“This new store greatly enhances the Killarney retail experience, I really like the idea of the pedestrian entrance off Park Road,” Mayor Marie Moloney told the Killarney Advertiser at the official opening.
Other local guests to attend the official opening included MEP Sean Kelly, Ciara Griffin, former Ireland Rugby Captain, TD Danny Healy-Rae and councillors Niall Kelleher and Donal Grady
The new €8M store will replace its existing store at Ardshanavooly, a short distance away, which closed on January 10 after 14 years, ahead of the new store opening on Thursday.
New Store Design
Featuring Aldi’s exciting award-winning Project Fresh layout and design, the new store boasts a large shop floor spanning 1,260sqm, making it 50% larger than the old Killarney store.
There are also 113 car park spaces available to customers in Killarney, along with 15 bicycle rack stands. Aldi’s Killarney store will also provide access to free-to-use electric vehicle-charging points for customers. Aldi has invested in ventilation heat recovery, which will be used to power underfloor heating, in addition to solar panel energy.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
