It is expected that the new store will employ up to 18 staff, between full time and part-time roles. “We are delighted to share with you all that our new service station located at the Knock Road, Castlerea will be officially opening on this Wednesday, March 5th,” Dermot said this morning, Saturday.

“Be sure to call in and check out our new shop, deli and forecourt. A lot of hard work and long hours have gone into making our shop the very best it can be. We can't wait to see you all on Wednesday.” 

Dermot, a well-known GAA referee throughout the county and a member of the Castlerea St. Kevin’s senior management team, already operates the Mace Supermarket and Castlerea Post Office on the town’s Square and a Mace store and service station at Carnmore Cross in Galway. He employs a staff of 52 between both his existing businesses, but this is now expected to rise 70 with his second venture in Castlerea.

Dermot started out in business in Castlerea in 2001 with a fruit and vegetable shop on Main Street, moving in 2007 to the Square to open the Mace Supermarket.
