Supermarket chain Lidl is re-opening its store at Fortunestown in Dublin following four months of construction.
The shop was destroyed during looting in March during Storm Emma.
Nine people were arrested after the event was captrued on social media.
Gardaí had to use the Army as back-up to help them get through the snow.
It will re-open at 8.00am on Thursday.
The newly re-built store has increased in size by 70%, from 997m2 to 1698m2 in floor space.
It also has 50% more parking spaces, additional tills, wider shopping aisles as well as a new training room facility and extended welfare area for employees.
The store also offers customers free use of a number of electric vehicle charging points.

Lidl recently announced its plan to introduce these charging points to all new stores and across major refurbishments.
This means the company will provide the largest network of electric vehicle chargers in the Irish supermarket sector - allowing customers to charge their electric vehicles free of charge while they shop.
Following the events in March this year, each of the Fortunestown staff were redeployed to other Lidl stores in the area.
This team, along with nine new recruits, are returning to the store along with manager Ruth Shanley.
Speaking ahead of the re-opening, Ms Shanley said: "On behalf of the entire store team, I d like to extend our thanks to our loyal customer base in Fortunestown for their level of support over the past few months.
"We recognise that our service and store team have been greatly missed by the local community and we are delighted to welcome everyone back".
Newstalk's Henry McKean has been given exclusive access to the new store.

He spoke to area manager Denise Cullen, who told him: "It was something that nobody expected would ever happen - it made global news at the time.
"It was a shock to us all - but as a business, number one for us was the safety of the staff.
"First protocol was to contact all the staff: to make sure that they were OK, that they knew not to approach the site.
"The matter was dealt with by the guards".
On the redeployment of workers, she said: "The incident happened on the Friday and by the Monday everybody was redeployed in a store that was best for their own location".
"Everybody is so excited to be back - we're bigger, better, a brighter store for the community here".
