Fears for the jobs of 54 employees at the former Supervalu premises at Watchhouse Cross in Moyross, were allayed Tuesday following the announcement of a €600,000 investment.
The supermarket, which served as the Moyross estates only supermarket, will officially re-open as a Eurospar on September 3rd with Mayor of Limerick, Maria Byrne set to cut the ribbon.
Eurospar owner Maurice Smith officially confirmed that all jobs will be retained at the premises saying plans are “well underway” for the refurbished Eurospar to open this September 3rd.
“Plans are well underway for our new refurbished Eurospar to open on September 3rd and we have created ten extra jobs already as part of that process,” Smith said.
“We are committed to investing in the local community and committed to growing our business so we are hopeful that we can take on more staff in the near future and there is the potential to double the amount of jobs already created.”
The Community Development Network in Moyross also welcomed the announcement of investment into the northside community, adding they were particularly pleased the local jobs are being maintained.
Then store will have extended opening hours seven days a week from 8am-10pm.
