Lynch’s continue award-winning streak at national Forecourt Trader Awards

Lynch’s Eurospar in Greysteel has brought even more silverware home from London as they continue their award-winning streak.

Fresh from picking up four awards at the Retail Industry Awards last month, Lynch’s Eurospar Greysteel has now also been awarded the Best Soft Drinks Outlet award at the Forecourt Trader Awards, which took place in London last week.

The award is one of nine wins for Spar and Eurospar forecourts in Northern Ireland, with stores in Holywood, Dungannon, Omagh, Portadown, Doagh and Newtownabbey also returning home with awards.

Paddy Doody, Sales and Marketing Director at Henderson Group which owns the Eurospar brand in Northern Ireland commented: “Lynch’s continues to make themselves known throughout the entire sector of forecourt retailing across the UK. Their attention to detail and knowledge of what their shoppers want puts them in a competitive position and reaps not only physical awards of this kind, but for the success of their business.

“Lynch’s beat competition from national retailers in this category and we send them even more congratulations on their continued awards success.”

Conor Lynch added: “We opened our third store, Lynch’s Eurospar Greysteel, just two years ago with the intention of providing outstanding products and services for our local community. We are focused on every detail within our business, and the selection and efficiency of our soft drinks is important as a busy forecourt. We are delighted to continue to achieve awards success on such a national level and want to thank our whole team for making it happen.” 

Judges were impressed with the range of drinks available at Lynch’s Greysteel, commending the “constantly merchandised 24-foot cooler, ready for customer to grab on the go. There is also a secondary 8-foot cooler which supports the range of fresh juices and smoothies”. Judges also commended the sales success from impulse drinks and take-home drinks every week thanks to the team’s hard work.

The Forecourt Trader Awards honour the hard work, innovation and creativity of forecourt retailers nationwide, with organisers saying they “sought out the brightest and best in the industry – those pushing the boundaries of hard work and innovation in the pursuit of excellence.”

Forecourt Trader is the leading media brand in the forecourt sector in the UK and has been recognising, rewarding and celebrating forecourt retailers’ outstanding achievements for over 20 years.
