Aldi Ireland's Group Managing Director is reminding customers that they need to stock up on their favourite Aldi products today and tomorrow as stores prepare to close.
Aldi will be closing over the Christmas period so customers need to get their essentials sorted on December 23 and 24. Even the most organised shopper is likely to forget a few bits so make sure you bring your list.
Aldi boss Niall O’Connor has reminded customers that all stores will be shutting their doors for a number of days over the festive period. The supermarket will join many others in closing for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, but Mr O’Connor has warned Irish shoppers that Aldi stores will also be shut on St Stephen’ Day.

Mr O’Connor said Aldi is also helping with the cost of living crisis as many Irish people face a difficult Christmas.
He said: “To provide additional support for those struggling this Christmas, we are donating over €33,300 worth of Aldi gift cards to our charity partner Barnardos, bringing the total number of vouchers donated to Barnardos in 2022 to €58,300. Our gift cards will help support over 300 vulnerable children and families most in need across Ireland over Christmas. This forms part of our commitment to donating €1 million over the next 2 years having successfully achieved the €1m target for the last two years.
“To continue working towards this goal, we’d like to ask you, our loyal customers, to help us support those most in need this Christmas by visiting www.Barnardos.ie/Aldi and donating online. Pledging as little as €4 can help Barnardos provide a hot dinner and access to specialised care for a child in a Barnardos after-school club.
“As well as this, we will once again be donating surplus food to local charities once stores close on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, as part of our long-established partnership with FoodCloud. A total of 86 local Irish causes will benefit from the donations this year.”
Aldi and many other supermarkets across Ireland have altered their opening hours over the festive season.
In a letter to customers, he said: “Since opening in Ireland in 1999, we have closed our doors on Christmas Day, St. Stephen’s Day and New Year’s Day, to thank our colleagues for their hard work and commitment to helping customers throughout the year. This year is no different, as we want all of Team Aldi to enjoy Christmas with their own families,” he said.
