Print18 December 2012
XL opened its 200th store at The Glen in Cork city in late November, marking a major milestone in the brand’s history.
Approximately €170,000 was invested in the new site by owners Ciaran Lynch and Tony Cowhig, together with operators BWG Foods, who celebrated the official opening with an in-store party for local customers featuring guest appearances from sports stars Eoin Cadogan and Paul Kerrigan.
Originally a Greenfield site, XL The Glen is located on Glen Avenue in Cork city and currently employs 10 people, with this number expected to rise in the run up to the busy Christmas period.
Managing director of BWG Foods, Willie O’Byrne said: "Growing the brand in a stagnant market is something we don’t take for granted but we believe it is testament to the hard work of our XL retailers and the expertise and experience of the XL development team."
