Three Kilkenny stores receive top honours at the Londis Retailing Awards

Londis retailers from every corner of the country, including Kilkenny, descended on the Armada Hotel in County Clare recently for the 2023 Londis Retailing Awards.

This year more than 80 Londis retailers received Retailing Awards, including three stores from Kilkenny.

The Londis stores to receive Londis Retailing Awards are: 

Stephen Walsh’s Londis Callan
Patrick and Sharon Holligan’s Londis College Road
Drury Stein’s Londis Castlecomer

Congratulating all Londis retailers on the night, Conor Hayes, Sales Director, Londis said that 'these awards are recognition of the commitment and ambition demonstrated by these retailers to keep providing the highest level of service to their customers'. 

"Their focus on continually exceeding customer expectations is a testament to the hard work of their staff, for which they should be very proud," he added.

"I want to congratulate all the Kilkenny retailers and their teams on this outstanding achievement."

In winning these awards, the stores were independently examined across a range of criteria including customer service, the quality of their fresh food offering, product range, and the store’s commitment to upholding the highest standards across all facets of their stores.

This includes the addition of robust BWG Food Safety and Hygiene audits to this year’s Programme.

These exemplary Londis retailers received their award in recognition of their commitment to implementing exceptionally high standards throughout their store, thereby providing an excellent customer experience to their local community.

This year’s awards were held as part of the Londis Conference 2023 entitled Achieving Together, which was chaired by sports journalist Evanne Ni Chuillinn.

Special guest speakers included legendary rugby player and coach, Ronan O’Gara, outstanding jockey Rachel Blackmore and endurance athlete and motivation speaker Gerry Duffy.
