The retailer currently employs over 130 people in the county with a €3.2 million total annual salary spend across its six stores.

Speaking at the Ballyhaunis store opening, Charlene Kilgallon, store manager, said: “This new €7 million store in Ballyhaunis is the latest step in ALDI’s expansion programme and I’m delighted to open our sixth store in Mayo today.

"This new store, and the 30 new jobs created, will support our ambition to deliver value to the people of Ireland at the locations most convenient to them.
