Ireland’s convenience store retailers and their teams continue to outdo themselves by offering outstanding standards and service within their local communities – all our finalists and winners truly are the beating heart of convenience retail. Indeed, it is little wonder Ireland’s convenience store sector is internationally regarded as the gold standard to which other countries aspire. It is remarkable that despite so many obstacles being put in the way of retailers, the standard of our convenience stores endures at such an elevated standard.”
