SuperValu to create 400 jobs in new shops
SuperValu is to create 400 jobs over the next year, as five new stores are added to its national network.
The supermarket chain said almost 200 of the jobs will be created in new stores in Celbridge, in Co. Kildare and Milltown Malbay, in Co. Clare.
The balance of jobs will come from store extensions and other independent stores joining the SuperValu network.
It forms part of a €20m investment programme, which includes the refurbishment of 30 further stores.
The company said it is able to make the move after a good year in 2011 which saw them earn €2bn in retail sales and achieve a market share of almost 20%.
