Tesco Ireland has opened the doors to a new Tesco Express store at Charlemont Square in Dublin.
This historic part of Dublin 2 has been transformed into a modern neighbourhood which will feature a retail space, public square, homes and offices. At more than 4,600 square foot and conveniently located close to the Charlemont Luas stop, the new store promises customers a modern retail experience and a wide selection of quality fresh and Irish produce.
Geoff Byrne, Chief Operating Officer, Tesco Ireland said: “We’re very excited to open the doors of our latest Dublin City Centre store, here in Charlemont Square. We’re looking forward to getting to know our new neighbours in this community.”
In a new green initiative for Tesco, the retailer has used fully recyclable wall protection in the fitout of the new store. The material was made from 350kg of 100% recycled soft plastic which came from Tesco instore collection points for soft plastics from product packaging. The use of this recycled material offers an innovative recycling solution which demonstrates end to end recycling for the company.
The material was manufactured for Tesco by Irish manufacturing company Paltech whose technology offers the ability for soft plastics to be cleaned, sorted and moulded into construction materials. Tesco Ireland partnered with the company in 2021 to help them use recycled materials for use in store maintenance and in refits including buildings, carpark barriers, and signage.
Store manager Jonathan McCusker, who has been with Tesco for eight years, said: “This is a really exciting day for me and the team. We’ve been working really hard behind the scenes for the past few weeks to ensure that the store will offer the best possible experience for our customers.”
