Centra Supermarket in Mullinavat Plans Major Development Upgrade

Planning permission has been submitted for a significant development at the Centra Supermarket located on Main Street in Mullinavat, County Kilkenny. The proposal seeks to demolish an adjoining dwelling on the southern side of the property and construct a new building that will enhance the supermarket’s facilities.

The planned development includes a retail area of 151m² and a store area of 52m² at ground floor level, along with an additional 51m² on the first floor, which will be incorporated into the existing supermarket structure. This expansion aims to improve the shopping experience for customers and increase the store’s operational capacity.

In addition to the building works, the application also covers associated signage and site works. The documentation has been lodged with Kilkenny County Council and is currently awaiting validation.

Once validated, the council is expected to make a decision regarding the application by May 4, 2026. The outcome of this proposal could usher in a new phase for the Centra Supermarket, enhancing its role in the local community and potentially increasing foot traffic and sales.

As urban and rural areas evolve, developments like this one highlight the ongoing investment in local businesses, which can lead to improved services and facilities in the region. Local residents and stakeholders will be keenly watching the progress of this application as it moves through the council’s review process.
