PHOTOS: Big queues outside The Range in Maynooth this morning
After months of anticipation the day has finally arrived for The Range, the newest
superstore in Maynooth, to open its doors.
Friendly staff were joined by Captain Range, the company’s own mascot to welcome
customers to the store. Once open, shoppers couldn’t wait to explore their new store and
find themselves some fantastic bargains. The new store provides great value products
even a family café serving a wide selection of delicious food and drink. There are fantastic
offers for customers to enjoy running across all departments until 15 April.
The Range gave away prizes to the first 100 people in the queue, including a star prize for
the first customer in-line, who queued from around 7am to secure their prize.
Maynooth’s iRadio were in-store on opening morning to provide entertainment and music for the
crowds.
They ran a competition for one lucky customer to win €250 in Range vouchers to
spend at their new store. There are more celebrations taking place over the weekend with
a free craft demo by Trimcraft on Saturday. There will also be a free craft demo in-store by
Design Objectives on Easter Sunday.
Devon-based entrepreneur, Chris Dawson, the owner and founder of The Range
commented on the opening: “It was great to hear of so many people at the store to
celebrate the Grand Opening in Maynooth this morning. We hope that all our customers
found themselves some fantastic bargains.
He added, “We are really pleased to continue our rapid expansion this year and are certain
that the jobs we have created will be a welcome boost to the local area. We would like to
thank the community and local council for their support in welcoming us to the town and
helping us with our progression in the Irish market”.
