And it’s already this Wednesday.
Until you see, the Aldi has already opened two stores nationwide this year: one in Seia, on January 10th, and another in Vila do Bispo, on March 20th. Well, as promised, the third store opened this year will be in Leiria, and it already has a date to open its doors.
It is tomorrow, Wednesday, March 27th, that the food retailer opens its third store in Leiria, which joins the existing ones in Cruz da Areia and Gândara dos Olivais. The new store is located on Rua da Escola, close to the Marinheiros Church, and has a total area of 1,870 m2.
With the opening of this store, the retailer becomes the first discounter to arrive in the Marinheiros area, offering Leirienses high quality Aldi brands and products at low prices, allowing them to save on their weekly shopping with fresh products and, most of which are of national origin, as is the case with fruits, vegetables and fresh meat.
The new Aldi Leiria also offers 76 parking spaces, an electric charger station, bicycle parking and dog parking to all customers. In parallel with its construction project, the retailer carried out some improvement works in the surrounding areas, which involved the creation of public parking spaces, the installation of ecological islands for urban solid waste and the installation of a bus stop.
Contributing to the communities where it operates is also a priority for Aldi, which, in this sense, established a partnership with two local institutions – Re-Food of Leiria and ABEP (Associação Bem Estar de Parceiros) – for the donation of surplus food from the new store. This will be help that will reach around 60 families and another 12 institutions in Leiria supported by Re-Food, and also to the units to which ABEP provides assistance, namely the day center, residential structure for the elderly, home support service and daycare center, totaling more than 150 people.
To open the new space, the food retailer also prioritized local recruitment, with the entire store team, with around 20 employees, residing in the municipality. Of these employees, more than half were unemployed, thus having the opportunity to re-enter the labor market.
