Coleraine Thai street food café and takeaway Whoosh selected to supply all ALDI stores in Ireland
A Coleraine Thai street food café and takeaway is celebrating after clinching a major contract to supply products to ALDI stores across Ireland.
Whoosh, situated in Bellhouse Lane in the town, will see its authentic Thai and Vietnamese noodle snack pots hit 164 ALDI shelves from September 11.
The ready-to-eat meals are the creation of local chef and owner Thana Thammavongsa, who has spent the past five months developing the flavours and preparing for the rollout.
Posting on social media, Thana and the Whoosh team wrote: “Hey street foodies and especially noodle lovers! Here’s some big news we’ve been dying to share with you! We’ve been working flat out over the last 5 months… so excited to announce that 2 of our Instant Whoosh noodle flavours will be launching on 11th September, in all 164 ALDI stores in Ireland.”
The partnership comes as part of the #GrowWithALDI2025 programme, which supports small and emerging food producers across Ireland. Whoosh is one of just 30 finalists selected this year.
"We’re humbled to be among the 30 finalists in the #GrowWithALDI2025 programme. So so excited and grateful that @aldi_ireland is giving us this opportunity to join their amazing network of Irish suppliers! More details and photos to come! Stay tuned!,” she added.
