The manager of Aldi’s Ballyhaunis store, Stacey Roddy, said she and her staff are “so honoured” to be recognised in the annual judging report in the annual SuperValu Tidy Towns competition.

The €7 million store on Main Street was praised for its biodiversity-friendly landscaping by the Tidy Towns judges who said the store was “probably the best example” of such pollinator-friendly landscaping they’d encountered at any retail store.

“It was designed by Deady Gahan Architects and built by Stewart Construction, while the landscaping of the grounds was undertaken by Avara Landscapes,” explained Ms Roddy. 

“We’re committed to developing and operating stores that offer a pleasant and enjoyable shopping experience for our customers and contribute positively to the communities we serve.

“The store was designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. As well as the variety of pollinator-friendly plants praised by the competition judges, the store is also powered by green electricity and features solar panels on the roof.”
