Supervalu confirm new Fairways store

A JOBS boost is on the cards as Supervalu confirm they are recruiting for a new store set to open at the Fairways later this year.

The major grocery retailer announced that over 40 jobs will be created at the new store due to open in the autumn. The 17,600 square feet SuperValu Store, representing a total investment of €7 million, will be located in a flagship new retail development at the former Fairways Hotel Site in Dundalk.

It is expected that a further 70 jobs will be supported during the development’s construction phase.

SuperValu Fairways will be the anchor premises of this €25

million development by local Dundalk Developer Wonder glade, which will also include a number of smaller retailer units.

The store will be operated by Dundalk retailer Richard Tiernan, providing consumers with a tailored local Irish offer, with a range of locally-sourced produce from Louth suppliers including Moran Jams, Kookie Dough and Sing Li to name but a few.

The new store will also include a butcher counter, fish counter and fresh bakery complemented by in-store experts, as well as customer parking.
