Irish independent retail chain Horans Healthstore has extended its store portfolio to 19 with the opening this week of a new outlet in Newbridge, County Kildare. 

The new store is located in the town’s Whitewater shopping centre. 

The opening marks the counting expansion of the 100% Irish-owned business. Horans was established 1988 by owner Dan Horan, originally as a fruit and veg store, with a small healthy food section at the back of the shop. Today, the retailer is one of the best-known names on the Irish health food retail scene and employs over 90 people. The majority of its stores are in the Munster region, but it also operates a store in Dun Laoghaire Co. Dublin.
