Portadown and Richhill stores are commended for excellence at Musgrave Store of the Year Awards

The Musgrave awards ceremony celebrates and recognises the achievements, hard work and dedication of its retail partners across the SuperValu, Centra and MACE brands.

It was a successful night for SuperValu Woods’ Fruitfield, Richhill which was awarded the SuperValu Fundraiser of the Year award for its support of Action Cancer, raising a fantastic £5,424 during 2024. The store then picked up the silver award in the SuperValu Store of the Year category with SuperValu Wilson’s in Portadown collecting the bronze. Wilson’s also won the title in the Excellence in Social Media category.

Also awarded for its fundraising efforts for Action Cancer was Centra Cuttle’s Deansbridge in Armagh which was crowned Centra Fundraiser of the Year after collecting £4,573 for the charity last year. The store was then recognised with a bronze award in the Centra Foodmarket Store of the Year section while in Keady, McGleenan’s Centra was awarded silver.

Trevor Magill, Managing Director of Musgrave Northern Ireland said: “The Musgrave Store of the Year awards provide us the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements, hard work and dedication of our retail partners, across our three brands.

“I want to say a huge thank you to all our retailers who work so hard to maintain the highest standards across our brands. Congratulations to all the finalists and award winners who never fail to deliver the best customer service to communities across Northern Ireland.”

The awards ceremony was hosted by radio presenter and DJ Pete Snodden last Friday night in The Slieve Donard Hotel. Finalists are selected following several rigorous rounds of performance and standards audits, with the highest accolade being ‘Store of the Year’.
