I love the quality of superquin deli counter for cheese salamis and olives. Their meat and chicken are so tasty and the butcher always has tip for cooking….their fish counter is full of choice with tasty fish and marinades….most of all i love the sausages!!!

A real shame to see that Superquinn owe large sums to suppliers who are unlikely to be repaid:

No opinion, Superquinn is not nationwide.

Sort of horrible how Musgraves came in and decided not to pay suppliers and start again- horrible. I would never shop in SuperValu or Centra again after that cynical land grab at the expense of many small suppliers who will probably go bust because of it. I hope their babies are monkeys!

Claire, you know that if you don’t have an opinion, you don’t actually have to leave a comment?

It just seems so dodgy..announced one day, saved by Musgraves the next, and then the revelations follow about KPMG being the only shareholder who was secured.
The suppliers deserve better, lot’s of whom don’t get a look in with the other supermarkets.
I’m glad the jobs are secured, but the ethics of the banks make my skin crawl (no surprise there)
I just hope that the suppliers get through this, and have the resources to carry on, my heart goes out to them, imagine having to sit in reception and ask where your money is?

Went to SQ yesterday and bought loads of lovely things on special offer. But the bulk of my shopping will be done at Dunnes / Aldi / Tesco because there is no way I can do a weekly shop there. Everything (I mean things you also find in other shops) is at least 10 cents dearer
