Tills at SuperValu to ring with bumper sales of Irish pumpkins
Grown for the Keelings food group by Oisin O’Gradaigh in Co Louth, the pumpkins will retail for no more than €1 in SuperValu stores nationwide during the Halloween period. Now in their sixth year of production, this year’s bumper crop was two weeks ahead of last year due to the fine weather.
SuperValu managing director Martin Kelleher said: “Pumpkins are a staple of every Halloween for both cooking and decoration, so we are expecting to see a huge demand from our customers for Irish pumpkins.
