Mildly interesting Irish facts #1: Kilkenny is the only county in Ireland with no Tesco

  1. Somewhat relatedly, I’ve never encountered so many people leaving freezer doors open in supermarkets as I have since living in Kilkenny. And KFC keeps running out of Pepsi and Chicken! These are my very important gripes.

  2. There was supposed to be a Tesco’s in Callan. It was going to be the regional headquarters too iirc. Sadly a NIMBY got it all shut down. The People of Callan had to settle for an Aldi’s instead.

  3. Interesting stuff. I believe Carlow, Kildare and Dublin are the only counties with no natural lakes despite Carlow or Ceatharlach being believed to be Irish for “four lakes”.
