Corrib Oil Mayo store officially reopened after full refurbishment

CORRIB Oil has celebrated the official reopening of its Castlebar store.

The store, located at Humbert Way ring road, reopened in November after a six-week refurbishment.

The site features a number of high-profile Irish and international retail offerings including Spar, Insomnia Coffee and a brand-new concession with Zambrero, the global fast-food chain offering feel-good Mexican food.

The new store also includes an on-site oil office, where customers can order their home heating oil while in-store.

Part of the Corrib network since 2001, the Castlebar site supports 44 jobs in the locality. A number of long-serving staff at the store performed the official ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Corrib Oil marked the official reopening with in-store offers throughout the day and lots of prize giveaways.

Announcing the official reopening, Gillian Morris, head of retail, Corrib Oil, said it is good news for Castlebar and Mayo. She said: “We’re excited to be officially reopening our Castlebar store. We have been growing our retail footprint over recent years, reflecting our firm focus on meeting the fuel, retail, home heating and food needs of local communities.

The refurbishment of this site underscores the scale of our commitment. Working with partners like BWG, we’re committed to offering an enhanced and expanded service to all our customers, both here in Castlebar and across the country.

“Our oil office is open from Monday to Friday 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. to take home heating oil orders in person, or customers can order online at www.corriboil.com 24/7, 365 days a year. Jason Kelly, our oil office manager, and his team are on hand to support our local customers and their home heating requirements.”

Manager of the Castlebar store, Sean Ryan, added: “This store supports 44 jobs locally, who are proud to be part of a dynamic, fast-growing, community-based business. Many of those team members have been with us for many years, and it’s a great honour that some of our long-standing Castlebar staff got to cut the ribbon last Friday.”

Earlier in February Corrib Oil announced plans to more than double its nationwide store presence to 100 by 2030, creating 1,200 new jobs across the country.

Corrib Oil, founded in 1987 in Mayo, currently employs 1,150 people, and has 38 service station stores across 17 counties.
