Londis and Top Oil confirmed for Supermac’s Donegal Plaza Multi-Million Euro investment on schedule to open in August by Margaret Gallagher
As the Supermac’s plaza at Drumlonagher gets ready for its windows and doors to be fitted, speculation has mounted locally as to who the fuel provider would be and even more interestingly would we have another ‘Under the tree at Spar’? The Eye on Donegal can now confirm that Top Oil will be the fuel provider and Londis the convenience retail store along with anchor tenant Supermac’s. Franchisee of Supermac’s and Papa John’s at the Donegal Plaza, Ken Foley, who is also a director of Koley Ltd, the operators of the entire site, spoke of how a lot of planning went in to this decision taking into consideration existing retail outlets locally. Supermac’s will open its doors at 6.30am for breakfast and will also operate a 24 hour
window service for a smaller food range. Ken went on to say that they are delighted to bring a high standard “Plaza” to Donegal Town and to open the first Supermac’s in the county. “Donegal is a lovely town, we saw the opportunity and took it, the location is perfect”, he said. “We have received a great response to the positions previously advertised for managerial positions and interviews will take place in the next few weeks. We are recruiting a full spectrum of employees full-time and parttime with a good variety of jobs on offer from shop assistants and chefs to deli assistants, grounds people and much more. Anyone interested in applying should forward their CV to me at Supermac’s, Bundoran Road, Sligo. In total we hope to bring seventy new jobs to Donegal Town”, Ken said.
Out at Drumlonagher the roof is on and Michael Kelly Jnr. of Glebe Builders confirmed that they are on schedule with this turnkey development. The Donegal Plaza will comprise a two storey filling station of over 10,000sq.ft. incorporating a Londis retail shop, a two storey restaurant with drive-through facility - as well as the four Top Oil fuel pumps with forecourt. Seventy one car parking spaces, two HGV parking spaces, a set down bay for buses, delivery bay and five bicycle stands will be on site. The Supermac’s restaurant will incorporate a Papa John’s Pizza and SuperSubs counter. This development will be great boost to the local economy with Glebe Builders employing 30 employees during the construction while when opened the Supermac’s plaza will have created seventy new jobs in town.
