Corrib Oil to Invest in Ballina with New Service Station and 50 Jobs
Corrib Oil, a leading food and fuel retailer in Ireland, is set to open a new convenience store and service station in Ballina, County Mayo, creating 50 full and part-time jobs. The new location on Killala Road is slated to open in early Summer and will be the company’s 42nd convenience store nationally. Midwest Radio and Mayo Live reported on the announcement on March 2, 2026.
Modern Facilities and Sustainable Practices
The new Ballina site will feature a full Corrib Deli, offering fresh food options for customers, alongside a spacious convenience retail store. Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, the development will incorporate a large solar panel system on the roof of the building and canopy. Midwest Radio highlighted this feature.
Comprehensive Fuel Solutions and EV Charging
The forecourt will provide a comprehensive fuel solution, including HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and AdBlue, available on the main forecourt and at a dedicated truck stop pump. A dedicated truck fill pump will also be installed. Recognizing the growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure, the location will also include one double EV charger in partnership with ePower. Midwest Radio reported on these fuel and EV charging options.
Corrib Oil’s Strategic Expansion
The expansion into Ballina reflects Corrib Oil’s strategic growth within the Irish fuel and heating oil market. News Usa Today noted that this move comes at a time when Irish households are particularly focused on energy costs, and Corrib Oil has positioned itself as a competitive provider, even advertising “the cheapest heating oil prices in Ireland” on its website. Corrib Oil’s website lists locations and fuel prices.
Local Employment and Community Focus
The Ballina location will be managed locally by Adrian Gavin, underscoring Corrib Oil’s commitment to community-based operations. News Usa Today emphasized the importance of this localized approach to Irish consumers, who often prioritize supporting businesses that invest in their towns and provide local employment.
Recruitment Campaign Underway
A dedicated recruitment campaign is currently underway to fill the 50 new positions. Interested applicants can find more information and apply online. Midwest Radio and Mayo Live both reported on the launch of the recruitment drive.
