Every part of the store has been upgraded to make shopping easier and more enjoyable. We’re especially proud to support so many fantastic local producers. My team has been amazing as we’ve kept the store open to serve customers while we’ve refitted it too.”

Retail operations director Paul Healy added: “This renovation is about more than just a new look; it’s about investing in the Limerick community. We’re thrilled to be part of such a vibrant area and look forward to serving Dooradoyle for many years to come.”
