Local Londis retailers, Caolac and Jennifer Monaghan, were delighted to recently relaunch their newly refurbished store in Kentstown, Co. Meath, following a substantial investment in the thriving community store.
The revamped Monaghan’s Londis Kentstown, relaunched at the beginning of May, bringing forth a number of enhancements aimed at elevating the shopping experience for the local community.
In addition, upwards of 95% of the external signage in Londis Kentstown is recyclable. These measures align with Londis Kentstown’s overall dedication to environmental responsibility while delivering a quality service to the community.
Furthermore, the revamped store offers an extended range of high-quality products, featuring new additions such as a new Bia Blás Deli, BWG’s exclusive I Scream concept and a new kitchen to extend the store’s overall footprint to 1,550 sq ft. The refreshed Off-Licence now showcases an extensive selection of wines from around the world, as well as spirits and craft beers that cater to all tastes.
Londis Kentstown has been embedded within the community for more than two decades and the store actively supports local charities and sports teams, including Seneschalstown Ladies GAA, Kentstown Rovers Soccer Club, in addition to sponsoring – and being a key member of – the award-winning K&S Accordian Band.
Improved sustainability measures were at the forefront during the revamp and Londis Kentstown now boasts energy-efficient Next Generation Refrigeration from Anglo Irish Refrigeration, insulated curtains at the entrance to the cold and freezer rooms and all the new LED light fittings, which are considerably more efficient than the previous fluorescent fittings.
On Thursday, May 8th, Monaghan’s Londis Kentstown invited the local community to enjoy their new look store launch party with plenty of refreshments and activities laid on to enjoy. These included a live DJ and MC to entertain the crowds and delectable food and drink samples from the new Bia Blás Deli.
Commenting, Caolac Monaghan said, “We have a long and proud relationship with the local Kentstown and Seneschalstown communities and to mark our 23rd year in business with a relaunch party for our customers felt right to Jennifer and me. I would like to thank our customers for their tremendous support throughout the years and since renovating this location. We had a wonderful day of celebration and the goodwill from the community was very heartening.”
Congratulating Caolac and Jennifer, and wishing the team continued success, Conor Hayes, Londis Sales Director said: “The newly renovated store in Kentstown really looks fantastic and is a credit to all the staff and to Caoloc and Jennifer. Londis is delighted to be partnered with such dedicated retailers, and we wish them the best of luck for the next 23 years and beyond!”
