Tesco Ireland officially launched their new store in Dundalk yesterday, with the help of the new super junior minister and local TD Ged Nash.
The store employs 174 people in total, 90% of whom are from the local area.
It was revealed that 49 new jobs have been created by the opening with the hope that more will follow.
The store is located on the site of the former Dundalk Shopping Centre, with its doors opening for the first time last Saturday.
