Well known Laois business Mulhall's Supervalu launches revamped store

One of the best known retail businesses in Laois has launched its revamped store.

Mulhall's SuperValu in Lyster Square, Portlaoise has embarked on a new chapter in its history following an investment of €400,000. 

As a result, the new look Mulhall's SuperValu is set to offer an extended range of top-quality produce including a brand-new Mulhall’s meats counter, Mulhall’s bakery and Mulhall’s fresh fruit and vegetable areas.

The famed Mulhall's Meats brand, which was established in 1931, will be a feature at the new meats counter. The Mulhall Meats butcher team are all full members of Craft Butchers of Ireland and together have over 92-years of loyal service at Mulhall’s.

Currently employing 90 people, Mulhall's will be hiring a further seven staff. 

Supporting local is of key importance to the team in Mulhall’s SuperValu and the store will bring exclusive offerings to customers across the Taste of Local range, which contains products sourced directly from up-and-coming producers within the region.

The team at Mulhall’s SuperValu have underlined their commitment to sustainability by going to extensive lengths to be as environmentally conscious as possible in designing the new look store.

An investment of €200,000 in sustainability-related improvements include additional state of the art fridges and freezers, solar panels as well as LED light fixtures within the store’s innovative design. It is envisaged that these measures will lead to a large reduction in energy consumption across the premises.

Commenting on the launch of the new store, store owner Gerard Mulhall said, “We are delighted to be opening our new look store after significant investment and much hard work from the team. The newly revamped store will offer our customers premium produce including our new meats counter, our range of freshly baked goods, and fantastic local products in our Taste of Local and produce sections.

"We believe in enhancing local communities by caring for our environment, so we are particularly proud of the dedicated eco-friendly technologies throughout the new store. We can’t wait to bring our new offering to the people of Portlaoise and are extremely grateful to all our loyal customers who continue to support us in the local community. We look forward to seeing them in store again soon.”

Mulhall’s SuperValu is independently owned and has been a longstanding supporter of the local community in Portlaoise.

The store has long been a sponsor of Ballyroan GAA club, the local St. Vincent De Paul, the local SuperValu TidyTowns group and other community initiatives.
