MAIN STREET, Williamstown, Co. Galway

A large well established supermarket centrally located on Main Street in a busy and rapidly expanding town.  Includes over 2,500 sq.ft of display space with large storage areas, food preparation facilities, cold storage, offices, staff recreational areas and loading bays.  Total area almost 8,000 sq.ft.  Double window to front with shutters. 
Williamstown is a pretty, prosperous town located within a short drive of Castlerae, Ballinlough, Glenamaddy and Dunmore.  Castlebar, Galway and Roscommon are within easy commuting distance.  Because of the excellent infrastructure, Williamstown has attracted several major housing projects and a further one hundred homes are being built or planned.  It is estimated that 3,000 vehicles pass the store every weekday.

 

The supermarket has double window frontage onto Main Street immediately opposite St. Therese’s Church and within a few steps of four pubs, a petrol filling station, a National School and a range of other shops and businesses.  There is brisk vehicular and pedestrian traffic passing at all times of the day.   Double doors lead directly to the main display area which measures 21.3 m x 11.3m. 
The produce is distributed between several aisles that run the length of the shop and the food products are grouped by type with specialised displays for meat, fruit and vegetables, bakery, dairy, frozen foods, deli and canned goods.  There is also a magazine rack, racks for general foods and cigarettes and lotto tickets are available at the checkout.  Hot and cold foods are prepared daily and sold at the deli.
To the rear is the food preparation area and doors to a large store with shelving and a tiled floor. A staircase leads from here to an upper floor with front-facing windows.  This houses offices, staff toilets, a kitchen and staff
relaxation room.  Further to the rear are more storage areas, including a large cold store, and a loading bay for deliveries. A gate closes off access to the loading bay when deliveries are not in progress.  There is further space beyond the loading bay for external storage.

Williamstown is a pretty, bustling town that still retains much of the atmosphere of the old Ireland.  There is a traditional Parochial House, a well supported GAA pitch and community centre and four pubs.  Because of its central location and excellent infrastructure several developers have decided to build new housing projects within the town.  When the current projects are complete there will be 550 houses within the town limits and more in the surrounding countryside.  In addition, there is a large volume of passing vehicular traffic (estimated at 3,000 vehicles a day) travelling to Galway, Castlerea and beyond.
The town also has a well-considered national school, an excellent new playground adjacent to the GA centre with modern rides and shock absorbing surface.  A choice of secondary schools is available in Glenamaddy, Castlerea and Dunmore.

Just outside of town are several factories including a furniture manufacturing centre and Main Street includes a good number of specialist stores and professional offices.
There is an established demand within the town for local supermarket facilities as wall as hardware, gardening and building supplies. This site provides an excellent opportunity to extend the existing supermarket, provide a substantial car park to accommodate out-of-town shoppers and integrate a large hardware supplier that would cater to a much wider community.  With these facilities, Williamstown could become a shopping centre for the region and cater for the continued expansion of the town.
