April 2nd, 2012– Nally’s SuperValu in Trim was presented with the SuperValu of the Year 2012 Silver award at the SuperValu National Conference which was held in the Malton Hotel, Killarney. The award was presented to store owners Stephen and Joe Nally by Martin Kelleher, Managing Director, SuperValu and Darren O’Sullivan, Head of Sector at eircom Business, competition sponsors.
195 SuperValu stores throughout the Republic of Ireland were adjudicated by independent competition judge, Simon Rawlinson. These audits focused on customer care, store presentation, fresh food quality, product range, operational standards, store hygiene and local community involvement. Congratulating Nally’s SuperValu, Martin Kelleher, Managing Director, SuperValu said “Every year the SuperValu of the Year judge faces the difficult decision to choose the best stores and this year was no different, with the excellent standard of stores within our group. However, Nally’s SuperValu stood out as a winner, as it’s an exceptional store demonstrating our true brand credentials. It has an outstanding fresh food selection across all departments, offers real value for money and places a strong emphasis on delivering exceptional customer service and being involved in its local community. SuperValu stores work hard to succeed in a very competitive market. However, it is the passion of the independent entrepreneurial retailers and their enthuastic teams that make them succeed in the market today.”
The Nally family have been trading in Trim since 1987 and has become an established part of the community employing 110 local people. In 2010 the store underwent a major refit, increasing its floor space to 15,500 sq. The increased space and new layout with a particular emphasis on fresh produce has allowed the store to go from strength to strength and expand its offering to the residents of Trim.
