PEEL’s enlarged Shoprite store in Derby Road was unveiled to the public on Friday.
A formal launch took place before the revamped store opened to customers.
The supermarket has more than doubled in size from 8,000 sq ft to more than 17,500 sq ft, and parking has been extended.
Work has included a complete redesign of the store’s fixtures, fittings and layout to bring the ‘Fresh Marketplace’ concept – which has already proved popular in Port Erin – to the town. The store now has an in-store bakery, a hot and cold delicatessen counter, and meat and fresh fish counters as well as a Subway Café.
Chief executive Andrew Thomas said: ‘This is a major development for the area and provides people living in the west of the Isle of Man with a quality food market store.’
The work was part of a £4m investment in Peel, which included refurbishing the ‘Little Shoprite’ convenience store in Michael Street last year.
