Centra stores are cream of the crop!

The competition celebrates the 'best of the best' of SuperValu, Centra and Mace stores in NI and Ballymoney can be rightly proud to have not one but two stores in the finals.

Only six stores from each brand have been shortlisted from the 270 stores all over Northern Ireland.

Nigel Maxwell, SuperValu-Centra Sales Director at Musgrave Retail Partners said: "Congratulations to both Glenn, Angela and Patsy and Mary and all the staff at the stores.

These stores offer consistently high standards in both offering and customer service. It is great to see teams with such passion for servicing their community to be recognised for their commitment. Ballymoney is very lucky to have two such excellent stores on its doorstep.

Musgrave Retail Partners NI is proud to support both stores and we hope they have continued success in the future."

The Centra awards have been sponsored by well known Northern Ireland company Ballygowan Pink and the SuperValu category is sponsored by fruit and veg distributor Total Produce. Winners will be announced at the end of April at a ceremony in the Europa Hotel, Belfast.
