Revamp begins at Musgrave

MUSGRAVE MarketPlace off St Margaret’s Road has announced a massive €2.2 million upgrade of its Ballymun store.

The cash and carry company is one of Ireland’s largest food wholesalers, supplying to several retail outlet chains and SME businesses.

According to Musgrave, the investment forms part of a commitment to deliver a “first class customer service experience and an unrivalled product offering to its customers”.

It’s expected that the upgrade of the Ballymun store will result in a 20 per cent increase in the size of its cash and carry section as well as a range of new speciality areas and cutting edge technology to provide customers with a better visitor experience.

The revamped 75,000 sq ft store, which employs 65 staff, will officially open in October. As part of the upgrade, three new roles will be created at the branch within the areas of fresh food, liquor and equipment.

Included in the revamp are new specialist meat, cheese, fish and fruit and vegetable counters with experts on hand to advise on the latest culinary trends.

There will also be a state-of-the-art culinary theatre to showcase Musgrave MarketPlace offerings for customers. Tailored classes will be hosted in this area, aimed at creating menu solutions for customers with a full time expert chef.

Hundreds of new products will also be available in the upgraded store as well as online access to the full Musgrave MarketPlace range. The company says the products have been selected based on extensive international and local trends research.

“We are delighted to unveil the design concepts for our new Ballymun store,” said Noel Keeley, Managing Director of Musgrave Wholesale Partners.

“The business of food and drink is constantly evolving and it’s important that we continue to innovate and respond to our customers’ needs. This significant investment will allow us to deliver the cash and carry of the future.

“A huge amount of planning and research has gone into this development to ensure that we deliver unrivalled quality and value to our customers. The refurbishment is testament to our brand promise of ‘first for value, first for choice and first for service.”

Musgrave MarketPlace will operate as normal throughout the upgrade.
