Shopping centre creates 350 jobs
Located on 15 acres of a former 43-acre Glanbia site at Shandon, the Dungarvan Shopping Centre, of which Dunnes Stores is the anchor tenant, created 350 new jobs on its very first day. And with several more retail units coming on stream next year, a further 50 jobs will be created by the end of 2005.
A project dogged by controversy and planning objections since it was first proposed almost five years ago by developers Clancy Construction Ltd, yesterday’s official opening saw thousands converge on the new centre which will completely change the face of shopping in Co Waterford.
