Plans for been submitted to Galway County Council for the expansion of Tesco supermarket in Oranmore.
Tesco currently operates a supermarket at Unit 1, An Tancaire, Oranmore with a gross floor space of 4,428 sqm.
The supermarket chain is now seeking planning permission from the county council to amalgamate to neighbouring retail units.
Adding Unit No. 3, with a floor space of 195 sqm, and Unit No. 4, which has a floor space of 164 sqm, would create a larger supermarket with a floor space of 4,797 sqm.
Other works would involve the addition of new signage on the eastern and southern elevations of the shopping complex, and replacing a door with windows.
The plans submitted by Tesco Ireland are currently at the pre-validation stage with the county council.
A decision on this planning application is due from Galway County Council by February 14, 2024.
Last year saw Tesco complete their acquisition and rebranding of Joyce’s supermarket chain in Galway, with nine new stores opening in Galway over a few months.
One of the conditions set by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission for approving the takeover was a requirement for Tesco to divest from the Oranmore Joyce’s store.
