New jobs created as Iceland opens in Blanchardstown

SUPERMARKET retailer Iceland Ireland opened its 27th store in Mountview Shopping Centre, Blanchardstown, last week, bringing 38 new jobs to the area.

The new flagship store, at just over 11,000 sq ft, will stock hundreds of big brands as well as festive favourites such as traditional party foods, the perfect turkey crown, classic festive sprouts and indulgent seasonal desserts. The new store also offers a free home delivery service.

In line with Iceland Ireland’s aim to be completely plastic free by 2023, this year, in a market first, the retailer is offering customers the choice of a reduced plastic Christmas dinner, with 14 festive treats which are entirely plastic free and an additional six with significantly reduced plastic. In addition, Iceland Ireland also has a fantastic ‘Christmas Meal Deal’ offering which includes a turkey joint, York pudding, button sprouts, honey roasted parsnips, mashed potato and roast potatoes – all for just €15!

Not only that, Iceland Ireland’s amazing Great Turkey Give-Away is back again this year. Customers who spend €100 or more from December 1 will receive a free 5kg turkey, while stocks last.

Earlier this year, the retailer also added 150 new and improved products to their own label frozen range and is proud to continue to support over 40 Irish suppliers. Iceland Ireland is also the exclusive stockist of the Slimming World range in Ireland.

Ron Metcalfe, managing director of Iceland Ireland, commented: “The opening of our new branch at Mountview Shopping Centre takes our number of stores in Ireland to 27 and represents our continued commitment to expand our unique offering across the country to meet the needs of our growing customer base. This flagship store will offer customers great quality foods at the best value on the market in a retail store environment with the customer very much at the heart. I know I speak for the entire team when I say we are very much looking forward to serving new and old customers alike.”

Candice Lee, store manager of Iceland Ireland in Mountview, added: “Following many months of planning we are very excited to open this new flagship Iceland Ireland store at Mountview Shopping Centre. We as a team look forward to sharing the latest Iceland products with new and existing customers. In addition, just in time for Christmas, we are delighted to also offer customers in Blanchardstown and the surrounding areas our free home delivery service.”
