A cinema is closing next week to make way for another Aldi in the Cork suburb left reeling after a fire forced the closure of a shopping centre last month.
German discount retail giant Aldi confirmed today that it plans to open its second store in Douglas village early next year.
The 1,000-sq metre store will be developed in the CinemaWorld building, which will screen its last movie next week.
The decision to close the cinema was taken some time ago following a fall in attendances.
CinemaWorld’s Brendan Flannery said he is confident that the new retail project will ensure “a continued vibrancy” on the key site.
