TULLAMORE Carpets is celebrating a milestone this September as it marks 50 successful years in business.
Established by Seamus Murray in 1976, the business has successfully traded at the Tanyard in the heart of Tullamore since.
The business was purchased from Seamus by the late Michael Heavin in 1976 and the current proprietors are his daughter, Louise Heavin and Edward Schofield.
Manager David McGrath – who has spent a whopping 36 years in the role – said a host of special offers are available throughout the month of September at Tullamore Carpets to celebrate the landmark anniversary.
"We have fantastic offers in store throughout the month to mark 50 years," David told the Tribune this week.
The oldest business in the Tanyard, Tullamore Carpets stocks a wide range of carpets, vinyl, laminate flooring and LVT (luxury vinyl tiles).
The business also offers free measuring and quotations and a professional fitting service, said David.
He thanked all staff members over the past half century for their hard work and contribution to the business.
"We are also very grateful to all our customers who have supported out business over the last 50 years," said David who also thanked Flanagan Properties and their neighbouring businesses in the Tanyard for their support over the years.
Tullamore Carpets is open Tuesday to Saturday, 9.30am to 5.30pm, with private appointments from 5.30pm to 6pm.
