'New lighting and heating were also installed as well as a new fully insulated solar roof, which will make the store much more energy efficient,' he added. Speaking at the official reopening of the store, Mayo TD and Minister for Social Protection, Dara Calleary said: 'I'm thrilled to see the transformation of Tesco Ballina, into a truly modern store, which the people of the town and surrounding areas can enjoy for many years to come.' He added: 'Tesco has always played a big part in the community here in Ballina and I look forward to many more years of engagement with the retailer.' Tesco Ireland CEO Geoff Byrne says he's delighted with the newly renovated store. 'This newly revamped store marks a significant milestone for Tesco as we celebrate more than 27 years of a presence in the region,' he said. 'We're proud to be part of the local community in Ballina and we are passionate about supporting brilliant local producers and helping to promote local businesses across County Mayo.'

Tesco shoppers have just days to DOUBLE value of their Clubcard vouchers ahead of deadline
TO THE POINT Tesco shoppers have just days to DOUBLE value of their Clubcard vouchers ahead of deadline Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TESCO customers can bag themselves an extra £10 in Clubcard points — but only if they act fast. Shoppers across the UK have until Monday, July 29, to exchange at least £5 worth of Clubcard vouchers with one of Tesco's Days Out Reward Partners. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 There's a minimum exchange value of £5, and the bonus is limited to one reward per Clubcard membership Credit: Alamy This offer can be accessed online or through the Tesco app and includes big-name attractions such as The London Eye, Longleat, West Midlands Safari Park, Cadbury World, and Thorpe Park. If you're planning a day out in Wales, options include a WWT annual membership, Tenpin, or the Arena Racing Company. To get the £10 boost, you'll need to convert your vouchers with one of Tesco's Days Out partners — it doesn't apply to their entertainment partners like Cineworld, Disney+, or Picturehouse. A Tesco spokesperson explained: 'To qualify for the £10 worth of Clubcard Points (1,000 Clubcard points), customers are required to exchange Clubcard vouchers for a Days Out Clubcard Reward Partner code via online or the Tesco app between 00:01 8 July 2025 and 23:59 29 July 2025.' There's a minimum exchange value of £5, and the bonus is limited to one reward per Clubcard membership. So even if you make more than one exchange, you'll still only get one £10 top-up. The extra points will be added to accounts by 19 October 2025. It's the latest in a string of Tesco offers aimed at helping customers stretch their money further. Earlier this year, Tesco reminded shoppers to use up Clubcard vouchers before they expired, and recently ran a popular triple points promo on select partners. Rival supermarkets have also launched their own reward schemes. Sainsbury's recently gave Nectar users triple points on selected brands in a weekend-only deal. SAVE HUNDREDS AT TESCO Asda handed out £5 bonuses through its Rewards app to customers spending £50 or more. Morrisons has been offering fuel savings of 5p per litre when shoppers spend £35 in-store. Lidl Plus customers have also been cashing in weekly digital coupons, including £10 off a £40 shop. With prices still high, these loyalty schemes are proving to be a lifeline for many families. RECLAIM LOST CLUBCARD POINTS MANY people lose or forget to use their Tesco vouchers, but there's an easy way to claw back the last two years of unused vouchers. Here's exactly how to find out if you have any unused vouchers. The first step is to log into your Tesco Clubcard account on or via the Clubcard app. You'll need your name, email address and Clubcard number to hand. Once you've logged in, navigate to "My Clubcard Account" and then click on "Vouchers" to see a full list of any vouchers you still have to spend. You can use the code included in your voucher to spend online. If you want to redeem them in-store, you'll need to print them off and take them with you.
