Work begins on transforming Mayo retail store

Work has commenced today in transforming one of Mayo's leading retail outlets into a new store.

Heatons, Ellison Street and Duke Street, Castlebar, closed at the weekend following the end of an eight-week 'closing down sale'.

A construction team moved onto the site this morning to start a complete renovation and rebranding project.

It will reopen within the coming weeks as a Sports Direct superstore.

The indications are that most existing jobs will be retained.
