Musgrave to create 250 jobs in Northern Ireland-wide expansion plan

Convenience retailer Musgrave Northern Ireland is to create 250 jobs in Northern Ireland as part of a widespread expansion.

The group, which operates SuperValue, Centra and MACE, plans to open 18 new stores in an £18 million investment which will also include the refurbishment of some existing shops.

Several new stores will see the inclusion of a new hot and cold deli counter, a Moo’d Ice Cream bar, expanded in-store bakery, and an upgraded off-licence.

The group said it has also committed another £1 million to its £2.7 million Sustainability Fund which aims to see the group hit net zero by 2040. It will help its retailers by providing initiatives based on each store’s needs and set-up, including upgrading freezers and refrigeration units, LED lighting retrofit, solar panels, and electronic shelf edge labels.

Trevor Magill, Managing Director for Musgrave in Northern Ireland said the group has ambitious plans in place.

“Working with our retail partners, we are making significant upgrades to our stores to ensure that we are providing the best quality shopping experience possible, whilst reducing our impact on the environment,” he said. “Our stores are at the heart of the communities in which we operate, and I’d like to thank our dedicated teams across SuperValu, Centra and MACE for helping us provide those communities with great quality, value and excellent customer service.”
