Local Tipperary MACE store wins national award

Mairead and Noel Ryan’s MACE Ballycahill was named Convenience Store of the Year (mini) at the annual ShelfLife National C-Store Awards 2022 recently.  

Ireland’s top retailers and brands gathered at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoghaire to attend the prestigious ceremony. Now in their 22nd year, the C-Store Awards are the only comprehensive and independently judged business accolades for the convenience store sector. 

In total, ShelfLife welcomed more than 400 guests from across the retail industry. A total of 26 awards were presented, celebrating the industry’s finest stores and people in a diverse range of categories. 

Ryan’s MACE Ballycahill, which is approaching its first anniversary in operation, is an all-service convenience store with full Off Licence, Hot & Cold Deli, Bewleys Coffee Bar and Bakery and is fully deserving of this national recognition. 

In congratulating Mairead, Noel and the extended team, Peter Dwan, MACE Sales Director said, “What Mairead and Noel have achieved in just under a year is truly remarkable and they are fully deserving of this wonderful award.

"The success of MACE Ballycahill is testament that there is rich reward to be hand from investing in rural Ireland.
