Musgrave Northern Ireland has announced a £16 million investment in its stores across the region, the Belfast Telegraph reported this week.
As part of the programme, the owner of Centra, SuperValu and Mace will open a new Centra store and petrol station in Co. Antrim later this month.
The new-store opening will represent an investment of £3 million.
Oran McCloskey will work with Musgrave to operate the new store, which will be located on Frosses Road.
Musgrave Retail NI plans to open stores in Armagh, Portadown and Magherafelt in the next few months, and it recently launched a store on the Glenarm Road in Larne.
The group also plans to refresh a number of stores across Northern Ireland as part of the investment plan.
These include SuperValu stores in Dungiven, Derry and Lurgan, and Centras in York Road, in Belfast, Antrim and Carrickfergus.
The company also announced the launch of a new brand, Good Food Locally Sourced, which will see £14 million spent on local produce.
‘Continuing To Innovate’
On the significant investment, the managing director of Musgrave Northern Ireland, Trevor Magill, said, “Centra Frosses Road is a fantastic addition to our store network, and I wish Oran and his team all the very best.
“At Musgrave, we are ambitiously focused on growing our store network and continuing to innovate to provide our shoppers with what matters to them – not just excellent customer service and value for money, but an extensive range of quality products with an emphasis on local alongside new technologies, for a seamless shopping experience.
“We look forward to continuing to develop our SuperValu, Centra and Mace stores, and ensuring we offer customers a world-class shopping experience.”
