 | | After the five Pettitt’s stores convert to the SuperValu format, MSVC will have 28 SuperValu stores in the five Southeast counties of Carlow, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford and Kilkenny, or, in population terms, one store per 16,000 people. |
 | | SuperValu announced last month that the five Pettit’s supermarkets will trade under the SuperValu brand from January 2006, with the day-to-day running of the stores expected to continue as before. |
