Kilmacow Fuel & Agri Ltd. will unveil its new look store at a special celebratory event this weekend. Located on the Dublin Road at Skeard, Kilmacow, the impressive new store retains its charm and high standards of customer service but has added a number of exciting new products and innovative services. The store first opened in 2010 after John Walsh, former Manager of the Glanbia depot in Loughcullen, identified an opportunity to better serve farmers in his local community after the closure of several local agri businesses/co-ops.
A local man, with farming in his blood, John is keenly aware of the issues facing farmers and has been involved in the agri business since attending Gurteen Agricultural College in Co. Tipperary.
