One of Cork city's main grocery stores, SuperValu will permanently close at the end of January following an extended period of low footfall and added competition for the long-standing supermarket.

Owned by Cork-based Musgrave group, the grocery distributor confirmed the closure of SuperValu in Merchant's Quay, their only large city centre store.
