West Cork supermarket site eyed up once more by Tesco after a 20 year wait

Supermarket giant Teso bought its  Clonakilty site back in the boom, in  2006 but is only now moving to develop it, and plans a partial sell-off to a separate commercial user

SUPERMARKET giant Tesco is seeking to add a West Cork store to its mix, 20 years after acquiring a profile site nearly 20 years ago, at the height of the Celtic Tiger era.

Thriving Clonakilty town looks set to add a Tesco store, along with an associated non-retail business,  to the town's busy retail mix to serve a wide West Cork catchment.
