Well-known Cork SuperValu enters receivership 

A spokesperson said Singleton's SuperValu in Hollyhill will continue to trade while joint receivers take over the operation of the store

Musgrave said it was supportive of this decision and confirmed it will continue to supply the store throughout the receivership process.

A well-known supermarket on Cork's northside has entered receivership.

Joint receivers Luke Charleton and Alan Large of EY are set to take over the operations of Singleton's SuperValu store in Hollyhill.

In a statement, Singleton's SuperValu said: "The management of SuperValu Hollyhill has invited the appointment of Luke Charleton and Alan Large of EY as joint receivers, to take over the operation of the store. 

"This decision was taken with a view to restructuring the business to ensure its viability into the future and to preserve employment."

"Over the years, this store has been at the heart of the community, and we have been deeply involved both in the business and in local life. 

"We are incredibly grateful to our fantastic team and the loyal customers who have supported us. It has been a privilege to serve this community for so many years."

"Musgrave is supportive of this decision and has confirmed it will continue to supply the store throughout the receivership process. The store will continue to trade and serve the community with the same commitment from the team," the store concluded.

The popular supermarket has operated in Hollyhill for 20 years. 

The store went through a significant renovation just two years ago, with owner John Singleton investing €2m over a number of months in 2023, which saw the expansion on the unit as well as the hiring of 20 additional staff members.
