Giveaways for customers flocking to The Range in Maynooth tomorrow

Major home store chain The Range will be opening its new Maynooth branch tomorrow morning - Good Friday - at 9am.

The first person in the queue wins a bicycle worth €250 while the first 100 receive Regatta fleeces.

The UK company that specialises in home, leisure and garden products is due to open in the former Tesco site in Carton Park.

The new store in Maynooth will provide products across Furniture, Arts & Crafts, DIY and Homewares departments.

The store will include a family café serving a wide selection of delicious food and drink.

To celebrate the opening, Free Craft demos take place on Saturday and Sunday.

The superstore has already boosted the local economy by providing jobs on a part-time and full-time basis.

The Range has more than 150 stores across the UK and Ireland  - including in Carlow and Liffey Valley.

This is the latest development in a growing brand that was first established by Chris Dawson in Plymouth in 1989.
