New BWG Wholesale site to combine Value Centre and Foodservice

BWG is to open a new facility which will combine its two wholesale arms – Value Centre and BWG Foodservices – in the same building for the first time.
The new 52,000 sq ft facility, based on the North Road in Dublin 11, is designed to deliver maximum synergies for the two BWG wholesale business, and will offer both walk-in and delivered capabilities.
The Value Centre aspect of the business will replace the existing Egan’s cash and carry on the North Circular Road, while BWG Foodservices’ Naas Road business will also be relocated to the North Road site.
BWG said yesterday that the new facility, which represents an investment of €15 million, would open ahead of schedule in September.
BWG Foods Wholesale managing director John Moane said that there were ‘obvious synergies’ in bringing the two businesses together in one central building. The new centre would not only provide an enhanced Value Centre offering to that of Egans, but would also offer an East Coast logistics solution for the Foodservice arm, he said.
BWG Wholesale last year said that it had allocated €30 million to expand and upgrade its wholesale operation, with refurbs planned for a number of its current Value Centre sites in addition to the major North Road build.
