National Awards for Tullamore stores

Two Tullamore stores were awarded prizes at the National Shelflife C-Store Awards.

Scally’s Centra won Bronze for Best C-Store Off License and Bronze for Best Fresh and Chilled Department.

Leavy’s Centra were awarded Bronze in the National Award for stores less than 2,000 sq ft.

The ShelfLife Awards, now in its 12th year was set up to acknowledge stores and individuals that set the standards for the industry.

Tobin’s Topaz/Spar in Letterkenny Co Donegal was named as Ireland’s top Convenience Store by industry magazine ShelfLife at the Awards Ceremony in Dublin.

The Community Initiative Award was presented to Joe Joyce who runs Centra in Clonmany Co Donegal, an area badly hit by emigration over the last few years.
