Lynas Foodservice opens new Strabane store

Lynas plan to double number of stores by 2024 – Ninth store opened in Strabane

Northern Irish based foodservice wholesaler Lynas has opened its ninth retail store and revealed plans to double its large foodservice stores in the next three years. The family-owned wholesalers plan to take the total number of stores to 18 by 2024 in an ambitious development strategy.

The new 9,000 sq ft ‘food outlet’ in Strabane is the wholesaler’s second-largest unit. The Strabane store includes new product ranges including artisan producer McColgan’s sausage rolls, pies, and pastries, the Tree of Life healthcare range and more than 40 new US confectionery SKUs.

Roll out

All the new products will be rolled out across Lynas retail stores next month. Lynas own-brand butchery label Causeway Prime will also be available through the in-store ‘butchery merchant’ department.

New design

Featuring polished concrete floors and walk-in chiller, the Strabane shop has been designed differently to its sister stores, and has created 10 new jobs to the Strabane area.
