Tesco Ireland has confirmed to Kilkenny Live it intends to submit planning for a new store at the former Mart site in Kilkenny.
Subject to planning approval, the scheme will see a modern, sustainable, and accessible store built in Kilkenny City, including new car parking facilities, the provision of Click+Collect services for customers, and include a Grocery Home Shopping hub to serve the wider catchment of County Kilkenny.

In partnership with Codd Property Holdings, the proposed development includes 80 residential units and an assisted care unit, alongside a further 90 car parking spaces.
A spokesperson for Tesco Ireland said, “We are pleased to submit our application to develop the former Mart site. Subject to permission, this new store will bring all the positive benefits that Tesco brings to town; including local jobs, community supports, opportunities for local suppliers and a new shopping experience for colleagues and customers.
"In the meantime, we’re looking forward to opening our first city centre store at Kilkenny High Street, in mid-October. We will begin recruitment to fill 15 customer assistant roles for this store in the coming weeks; where colleagues can be assured of market leading rates of pay and benefits, with fully flexible banded hour contracts, right here in their local community.”
Anyone interested in applying for roles in the High Street store can find out more online by searching Tesco Ireland Careers.
