Thomas Desmond, head of business development, PCS, presents the bronze Forecourt Retailer of the Year Award (Large) to Aiden Hennigan, Joe Wheeler and Peter O’Dowd of Londis Castlebar.

Distinction for leading Mayo forecourt retailer

Ireland’s top grocery retailers and brands gathered at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, to attend the ShelfLife C-Store Awards.

Originally due to be held in November 2021, the ceremony was postponed due to the increase of Covid-19 hospitalisations occurring at that time and to ensure the safety of all involved.

Proving the adage that good things come to those who wait, Casey’s Londis Castlebar was presented with a bronze award in the Forecourt Retailer of the Year (Large) category at the ceremony.

Congratulating the Mayo store, Conor Hayes, Londis Sales Director said: “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Gerry Casey and all the staff in Casey’s Londis, Castlebar, on being awarded a bronze medal on this national stage.

"The store and staff are very deserving of this industry accolade and they are great champions for the Londis brand.”

The ShelfLife C-Store Awards were set up to acknowledge stores and individuals that set the standards for the industry.
