Jobs at risk after liquidators appointed to EuroGiant chain

Fears are growing over the possible loss of jobs after the High Court yesterday (Wednesday, February 4) appointed liquidators to the companies which operate the EuroGiant chain.

EuroGiant have a branch on the Market Square in Mullilngar.

Founded in 1990 in Dublin, the discount retailer has 77 stores across the country, employing around 640 staff, which are now under threat.

EuroGeneral Limited and Bushgrove Limited, which trade as EuroGiant, have blamed rising costs for the decision.

Stores will remain open and continue trading as normal while a full review of the network is carried out. A spokesperson for the Irish retailer told RTÉ News that company’s thoughts are with the staff affected.
