Speculation about a possible sale emerged last week after it came to light that three UK-based retailers had approached Superquinn.
Over the weekend, Superquinn executive chairman Simon Burke emphasised that there is “no offer on the table”.
“There has been some interest expressed in Superquinn by outside parties…The interest that was expressed came from UK-based retailers,” a spokesperson for Superquinn told just-food this morning (1 September).
However, the spokesperson added: “As there is no offer for the business on the table, there is therefore no sale process.”
