Doug Howlett lines out for family fun days at Co-Op SuperStores
Munster & New Zealand All-Black’s rugby great, Doug Howlett, will line out for Co-Op Superstores in Raheen (Limerick) and Mallow (on this Saturday, 27th March), and Cork stores, Carrigaline and Midleton (Easter Saturday 3rd April), to mark the official launch of the stores under the Co-Op SuperStores brand.
Speaking from his home in Cork, Doug told us: ‘I’m delighted to be involved in the launch of the newly-refurbished Co-Op SuperStores in Raheen and Mallow this Saturday. I was involved in the opening of their Killumney, Co. Cork store last year and it reminded me of the local stores we find at home in New Zealand – great traditional service and well-stocked with everything you’d need for the home, farm and garden.’
John O’Carroll, Retail General Manager with Dairygold Co-Op Society Ltd. said: ‘We have spent the last few months re-vamping these stores in the Limerick and Cork area and we are delighted with the changes. We recently launched our fantastic Spring Home and Garden Range, as seen in our Spring brochure. I hope that Customers will find our re-vamped stores friendly and attractive with the Co-Op tradition of excellent service, range and value very much in evidence’.
The launch celebrations will take place in Mallow (Co. Cork) and Raheen (Limerick) all day this Saturday 27th March and in the Carrigaline and Midleton (Co. Cork) stores for the day on Easter Saturday 3rd April. ‘We have an unbelievable line-up planned for the Family Fun Day, with the Agri-Aware mobile farm, bouncy castle, face painter, free ice cream, Easter egg hunts, gardening expert, in-store demonstrations and lots more in most stores’ John O’Carroll told us.
Co-Op Superstores is the retail division of Dairygold Co-Op Society Ltd which recently acquired 7 stores, formerly trading as 4HOME. The company now operates 39 stores across Munster providing a range of Hardware, Household, DIY and Gardening as well as the traditional Agri offering.
