That's the hope of the developer behind the project.
It's hoped a new 7.5 million euro retail centre will breathe new life into Tullamore.
Plans have been drawn up for a 30,000 square foot development on the old Texas site, for a new supermarket, cafe and two retail units.
Developers Weavermay say once planning permission is secured, construction should take about 12 months - creating 55 full-time jobs when complete.
Director Tony Flanagan believes it's a deliverable project, despite the current climate:
