Navan in line for second Aldi store
Meath County Council granted permission to Foxtrot Investments 2011 Ltd last week for the supermarket, as part of a six-storey mixed use development at Balmoral on the Kells Road.
The gateway building will comprise of a 1,695 sq.m ground-floor discount food store with off-licence and 90 carparking spaces.
In addition there will be over 5,000sq.m of medical and office space overhead, all serviced by a 120 space underground carpark.
Although no retail giant has put their name to the new development, there is widespread speculation in the town that Aldi - which already operates on Brews Hill - is about to open a second store.
The proposed development has been welcomed by Navan Fianna Fail Cllr Tommy Reilly. “It’s a modern and very impressive new building which will be visually impressive at the gateway of the town from Kells.”
