Garvey’s buys Listowel supermarket
According to industry sources, the retailing company, which operates nine Supervalu supermarkets in Munster, beat off strong competition from Tesco to net the 25,000 square foot, Convent Road premises for a sum close to €14 million.
Garvey’s already have a store in the Kerry town, but it’s too small for their present needs, according to Terry Dunne, the group’s managing director. He said they plan to integrate the Market Yard premises with the purpose-built Guerin premises shortly.
