Inver Energy have now added to their network of retail forecourts with the opening of Inver Castlecomer Road, strategically located just off the Castlecomer roundabout in Kilkenny.

This state-of-the-art station has been built from the ground up and supplies fuel and a wide range of food and beverages to motorists and the local community.

With an investment of 2.3 million euros, Inver Castlecomer Road station features a spacious 168m2 SPAR store, designed to provide a comprehensive variety of products and an excellent customer experience.

In addition to the barista-style Insomnia coffee, the shop offers a selection of hot and cold meals freshly made at their class-leading deli.

"We are proud to unveil our most recent company-owned and operated service station that is assured to be the destination of choice for locals and road users," said Ben Lenihan, Retail Director at Inver Energy.

Employing 21 people, Inver Castlecomer Road provides increased convenience and economic growth in the region.

As part of the Inver network, the new station will nominate every year a local charity as part of the Inver’s Leading Lights initiative, supporting local organisations that make a difference in the community.

Aligned with Inver's commitment to decarbonisation, Inver Castlecomer Road has HVO on the pumps—an alternative to diesel capable of achieving up to 90% reduction in carbon emissions.

John O’Leary, Managing Director at Inver Energy, said that Inver Castlecomer Road 'exemplifies how we see forecourts continuing to evolve in the coming years'.

"This includes providing expanded biofuels offerings and bringing lower carbon solutions to the Irish forecourt," he added.

Inver Castlecomer Road is also the latest stockist of the Kilkenny People newspaper.
