FOUR Laois stores have won Gala excellence awards for their exceptional customer service.
Bracken’s Gala in Portlaoise, Simpson’s Gala in Stradbally, Dowling’s Gala in Killenard and Dempsey’s Gala in Portarlington were selected for the awards that recognise excellence in retail.
The awards were presented at the 2024 Gala Annual Awards evening held in Lawlor’s of Naas, Co Kildare, hosted by RTÉ sports broadcaster Jacqui Hurley.
The awards are presented to stores that are deemed ‘outstanding’ following an independent assessment process.
Speaking at the ceremony, Gala Retail chief executive Gary Desmond congratulated the winning stores and said the awards were “a true testament to their dedication and commitment” to their communities.
He said: “As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, it’s an especially poignant moment to recognise the outstanding efforts of our Gala stores across Laois, who have gone above and beyond in delivering quality and service to their customers.” Gala Retail has grown into a network of over 200 convenience stores across Ireland over the past quarter-century.
