XL’s long-established strapline has been to provide “a great deal more at your local store”, which is very much the case in Cloghan, Co Offaly with the recent addition of the XL Cloghan Service Station to the landscape.

 

RTE’s Marty Morrissey was the Master of Ceremonies at the recent opening launch of the newly opened XL Cloghan store on Thursday, April 13 when retailer Martin Grogan invited members of the local community to share in the celebrations. There was plenty to keep the whole family entertained at the launch including balloon modelling, stilt walkers, glitter tattoos and a host of tasty treats on offer.

 

XL Cloghan provides employment to 21 people locally and XL’s newest retailer, Martin Grogan, was delighted with the turnout on the day.

 

“We are very excited to provide this valuable service to the people of Cloghan,” said Martin. “We are offering a large selection of ‘food to go’ and dinner options, including O’Reilly’s award-winning fish and chips, and the feedback we have received since opening has been brilliant.”

 

XL is Ireland’s fastest growing retail symbol brand and offers our retailers a flexible, market leading package which enables them to tailor their shop to consumer needs and react quickly to changing market conditions and help grow their business.

 

Commenting at the launch, Paul Bealin, BWG Cash & Carry Sales Director (owners and operators of the XL brand in Ireland) said, “I am thrilled to welcome Martin and his team into the XL family. XL retailers are also passionate about providing value to their customers and this is something that Martin also recognises and deliveries on for his customers. Working closely with our innovation and fresh food teams, this stores offering is second to none. We have worked hard over the last number of months and years to grow the XL brand and our ambition is manifesting in this first ever “greenfield site” addition to the XL family. XL Cloghan Service Station will deliver great value, choice, service and exciting consumer promotions to the local community and customers.”
