Tullamore store makes it on to Best Shops in Ireland list

Congratulations to Galvin Tullamore for making it onto the much coveted shortlist of The Irish Times Best Shops in Ireland!

This country-wide search seeks to find the best of Ireland’s retailers as voted for by their customers.

Local retailers have been selected from an incredible 30,000 nominations submitted by the public.

“Once again we have had an amazing response from readers telling us about the shops they love and enjoy visiting,” said Orna Mulcahy of The Irish Times.

The shortlist of 100 includes a brilliant range of shops from remote family run stores to slick new businesses that are aiming for the big time.

Independent retailers have not had an easy time in recent years but as the economy improves there are some really interesting new trends in the shops sector.

This year, the Best Shops judges and secret shoppers were impressed by the high number of new shops, cafés and salons being nominated.

This is the 5th year of the Best Shops competition which is sponsored by AIB.

Overall winners will be announced on Saturday August 27.
