The company that owns the Iceland stores franchise in Ireland is to create 2,175 jobs with the roll out of 105 stores.
The AIM Group is to open 40 Iceland outlets over the next four years. It also intends to open 15 Home Savers stores, and 50 €2 Euro Stores across the country.
The total level of capital investment by the group will be over €25 million.
The expansion announcement was made by AIM Group chief executive Tom Keogh at the opening of a new Iceland store in the Ilac Centre in Dublin this morning.
The company also operates another three Iceland stores in Dublin in Finglas, Ballyfermot and on the Navan road.
“Our combined retail offering, of value for money, Iceland foods along with our own brand Home Savers stores we believe will capture the Irish public's attention and are sure-fire winners. We have a well funded aggressive rollout programme of retail stores for the next four years,” said Mr Keogh.
The AIM Group was founded by Naeem Maniar, an Irish-based Indian businessman in 1990. The company employs over 52 staff at its headquarters in the Robinhood Industrial Estate in Clondalkin.
