Tesco has officially opened the doors to its brand‑new Superstore in Northside Shopping Centre, Dublin 17, bringing 65 new jobs to the community.
Open from 8am to 9pm daily, the 20,000 sq. ft store offers customers a bright, modern retail space with an extensive range of Irish food and drink products, alongside much‑loved local favourites from brands such as Cadbury’s, Freshways, Butlers Chocolates and Golden Bake. Shoppers can also enjoy the latest F&F fashion ranges, an in‑store bakery, an off‑licence, and a DRS machine.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the store features energy‑efficient lighting and modern fridges with doors to help reduce energy use.
Store Manager Pamela Geraghty, who has been with Tesco for 28 years, says the team is excited to welcome customers:
“The response from the community has been fantastic. People are excited to see us open, and we’re just as excited to welcome them in. With a great mix of branded and Tesco own‑label products, many sourced from Irish suppliers, we’re confident there’s something here for everyone.”
Supporting the local community will be a key focus for Pamela and Deputy Manager Jennie Jordan. Through the Tesco Community Fund, the store’s first donations will go to Scoil Fhursa (Kilmore), St Joseph’s NS (Bonnybrook) and St Francis Senior School (Priorswood).
The store will also participate in Tesco’s food surplus redistribution programme, working with FoodCloud and OLIO Food Waste Heroes to ensure good food never goes to waste. In addition, the team will support Tesco’s charity partner, the Children’s Health Foundation, which helps sick children in CHI hospitals at Crumlin, Connolly, Temple Street and Tallaght.
As part of the opening celebrations, Tesco recently held a colouring competition at St Francis Senior School. The competition received a fantastic response, with many creative entries from students across the school. A huge congratulations goes to Erin, the overall winner. Erin’s artwork now features proudly on the official Northside tote bag, available to the first 100 customers in store on opening day.
