Aldi has started opening new bakeries at some supermarkets<\/p>\n
Supermarket staff are “counting down the days” until they can open the doors of the newly refurbished Aldi store in Fermoy<\/a>. The retailer has given the Dublin Road shop a multi-million euro makeover.<\/p>\n The supermarket has been closed for six weeks, with Aldi confirming it is on track to reopen the shop<\/a> next week. Aldi Fermoy will reopen on Thursday morning, June 4, at 8am.<\/p>\n Store Manager Eoin Desmond, who has worked with the German retail giant for over a decade, said: \u201cWe\u2019re counting down the days until we can welcome the people of Fermoy back through our doors.”<\/p>\n Kilworth man Eoin Desmond is the Store Manager at Aldi Fermoy (Image: Aldi)<\/p>\n Eoin, who lives with his family in Kilworth, added: “Having worked with ALDI since 2014, I\u2019ve seen first-hand how much we\u2019ve grown, and I\u2019m especially proud to be reopening in a town where my family and I have made our home.”<\/p>\n Aldi has invested \u20ac4.2m into the refurbishment of the store, which has been one of the most popular supermarkets in Fermoy<\/a> for 14 years. When it first opened in 2012, it was Aldi’s 14th Cork location. The first Aldi in Cork opened in Ballincollig back in 1999.<\/p>\n Aldi has remodelled a number of its Irish shops using its award-winning ‘Project Fresh’ store design, which it has implemented at a number of its locations in recent years. Other Aldi locations which have had Project Fresh revamps include Skibbereen,<\/a> Douglas and the Elysian.<\/p>\n At Fermoy, the new layout includes a bakery, a bigger emphasis on fresh fruit and veg, and the retail floor space has been expanded by more than 20% – from 965 sqm to 1,171 sqm. Management hopes a ‘larger shopping space’ will improve customer experience. It will also create five new permanent jobs.<\/a><\/p>\n Store Manager Eoin encouraged shoppers to keep an eye out for local products on the shelves. He said: \u201cFirstly, look out for local suppliers. As a Corkman, I\u2019m always especially pleased to see our local products on the shelves… including Velo Coffee, which I love, and Silver Pail Ice Cream, whose factory is located directly across the road from our Fermoy store. It\u2019s something I\u2019m very proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/0_ALDI-Store-Manager-Eoin-Desmond.jpg\")
