Two local retail businesses in Mayo have received national recognition at the Retail Excellence Ireland Awards 2010, the country’s largest and only dedicated retail industry awards.
The awards were presented on Saturday night by the Minister for Labour Affairs Dara Calleary at a gala event held at the Radisson Blu Galway.
The award recipients in Co Mayo: The Food Store in Silverbridge, Claremorris, ranked 43 overall in Ireland’s Top 50 Retail Stores for 2010; and Heffernan Fine Foods on Market Square, Ballina, ranked 46 in Ireland’s Top 50 Retail Stores for 2010.
The award process is based on a thorough store review conducted by a fully trained assessor, which is subsequently assessed by a panel of 10 independent judges who determine the top 50 retail stores in the country and ultimately select the final winners in each of 12 categories.
