Tesco Virginia has officially relaunched following an extensive €3.5 million euro refurbishment of the County Cavan store.
The 24,000 thousand square foot store at the Virginia Shopping Centre is Tesco's third store in the county, with outlets already in Cavan Town and Bailieboro.
The Virginia store has been refitted and rebranded since Tesco acquired the former McEvoy's supermarket earlier this year. The store has been modernised throughout with new shelving, floors, refrigeration, heating and lighting, as well as upgrades to back offices and colleague facilities.
The store also has a large new fresh food department, off-licence, bakery and Deposit Return Machine.
Store Manager Conor Tully leads a team of 50 colleagues, with many familiar faces having moved over from the previous store. A host of County Cavan-based brands can be found on the shelves including customer favourites Barry John's sausages, Manor Hill Tarts, McCloskey's bread, Crust & Crumb pizzas, Moran's jam, and Champion Milk to name a few.
Store Manager Conor Tully says colleagues and customers are excited with the new look store. "The store has undergone a huge change with upgrades to every aspect of the shop enhancing the shopping experience for customers. We are delighted to have so many local producers stocked in store with plans to add more in the coming weeks and months."
Speaking at the official reopening Cathaoirleach Cllr John Paul Feeley said: "We are delighted to see Tesco open in Virginia, giving a welcome boost to the local economy. It is a fantastic new store, offering a truly modern shopping experience, which the people of the town and surrounding areas can enjoy for many years to come."
