Enfield store scoops top award

Kiernan"s Gala store in Enfield has been named 'Gala Store of the Year 2008" at this year"s Gala annual conference, beating off stiff competition from Gala retailers across Ireland to pick up the most prestigious award of the night. Owned by Paul and Regina Kiernan, the couple took away the title of Gala Store of the Year for the first time. Piped to the post in last year"s Store of the Year awards, Kiernan"s Gala, Enfield, was described as a worthy winner, demonstrating continuously exemplary standards since its opening in 2005. 'To be awarded Gala 'Store of the Year" is an amazing achievement for Kiernan"s Gala. This is the second time that we"ve been in the running for the top award and it"s a reflection of my team"s on-going commitment to excellence since we opened our doors three years ago. Now we"ve secured the top position, the hard work really begins as we"re aiming to maintain it,' said Paul Kiernan. Speaking at the conference, Gala CEO, Gary Desmond, said Kiernan"s Gala 'was a high achiever in the ongoing store audits and this is a credit to its owners Paul and Regina, and the staff who are committed to excellence. The store has grown alongside Gala over the past couple of years and is now firmly established as one of our flagship stores in the Gala group'.
