Centra is a convenience shop chain that operates throughout Ireland.
The chain operates as a symbol group and is run by Musgrave, the Irish food wholesaler, meaning the stores are all owned by individual franchisees.

The chain has three different formats available to franchisees — smaller Quick Stop outlets, mid-sized Foodmarkets, and larger Supermarkets.
The majority of the stores follow the Quick Stop format (or are simply branded Centra), as Musgrave also offers the SuperValu format, which is geared towards larger supermarkets.

There are currently over 450 Centra stores in the Republic of Ireland and 120 in Northern Ireland.
In 2016, Centra posted a 3% increase in sales to €1.59bn.
Centra's main competitors are Gala, Spar and Londis, as well as a number of smaller groups such as Costcutter.
