A new Tesco store is set to open in Ferrybank in South Kilkenny, creating 22 new jobs, as part of a major property investment announced by the retailer.
The investment will be used to open eight new Express stores and carry out significant upgrade projects for 50 other stores.
No further details have been announced about the company's plans for the old mart site in Kilkenny City.
In early August, a spokesperson for Tesco confirmed to Kilkenny Live that the company are 'continuing to work closely with the local council' on the masterplan for the old mart site.
Kilkenny Live have once again reached out to Tesco for comment.
Tesco Ireland Chief Operating Officer, Geoff Byrne, says the strong pipeline of store openings and planned refurbishments spells good news for customers.
"We have an ambitious development strategy for the business and are very excited to be expanding our Tesco Express model," he said.
"Our Tesco Express model is proving very successful in urban settings and reflects evolving consumer demand for greater convenient shopping opportunities in high footfall areas, while our store upgrades will breathe new life into our existing store network."
