    Inb4 “they’re just hiding profits in their accounts” (from you, me, and the Revenue, presumably).

    (The actual reason has a lot to do with investments they’re making to grow the business:)

    >The directors state that the company invested €92 million to improve and increase the company’s store and distribution network. The loss also takes account of non-cash depreciation costs of €36 million.

    I was *assured* that supermarkets were gouging Irish consumers with massive profits.

    They’ve built a lot of new stores lately. That costs money.

    Looks to be a case of short term loss for a long term game with all the investment they’ve done in the last 12 months or so

    If Aldi Ireland declared a loss it’s because Aldi Ireland wanted to declare a loss.

    The added a bakery Lidl style to one of their stores in Galway which is great. If the will add it to all of the stores Lidl will have to step up their game.

    Supermarkets and grocery in general is low margin (usually 1%~3%) so any capital investment which is being expensed in the P&L will likely result in an accounting loss relatively quickly.

    I thought SF told us that supermarkets were raking it in? Although it appears Aldi and SuperValu aren’t making massive profits like we were told. 

    Did SF misled us?

    “Company claims it put colleagues and customers before profits”

    Nice spin.

    Company means – we believe as a “discount” store we are gonna absoluty mint it over the next few years, with the masses desperate for middle isle bargain during a worsening cost of living crisis. So we built more stores, to ensure we soak up every available cent. Thank you, come again.
