Ron Metcalfe, Managing Director of Iceland Ireland, said, “Three years after opening in Tralee, it’s fantastic to be back in the Kingdom to open our second Kerry store.
“We have had a great response from customers shopping at the Tralee store over the last few years and are delighted to now bring Iceland’s great quality and great value products to the Listowel community.”
