Posted on by Claire Marshall

Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary TD, today (Friday, 24th October) announced Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim as Ireland’s Tidiest Town for 2025.

600 TidyTowns volunteers were present at the SuperValu TidyTowns awards ceremony at Croke Park in Dublin with the event livestreamed to many more online.

This year 929 towns were competing for the prestigious awards demonstrating the continuing huge national interest in the SuperValu TidyTowns competition, which has been running since 1958. This is the highest number of entries ever received in the competition’s history.

Carrick-on-Shannon Co. Leitrim was named as Ireland’s Tidiest Town as well as Ireland’s Tidiest Small Town.

Minister Calleary also presented the Gaeltacht Award today to Carraig Airt TidyTowns, Co Donegal. Minister of State Jerry Buttimer presented the Young Persons in TidyTowns award to Corofin TidyTowns, Co. Clare.

Announcing Carrick-on-Shannon as the overall winner, Minister Calleary said:

“I offer my deepest congratulations to Carrick-on-Shannon and all of its TidyTowns volunteers for being crowned Ireland’s tidiest town for 2025.

“This is a wonderful achievement and a special moment of immense pride for Carrick-on-Shannon and indeed the wider county of Leitrim.

“Having consistently entered the competition over the last 40 years, Carrick-on-Shannon’s achievement today continues to showcase all that is good about resilience, innovation, sustainability, community spirit and volunteerism. This is at the core of what the competition is all about.”

The Minister continued:

“The standard of competition was exceptionally high this year in all categories, with a record 929 entries received overall from the almost 1000 active groups nationwide. I want to congratulate all the winners today across all the various categories. In particular, I recognise the vital role of volunteers across the country who are working so hard all year round to ensure our communities are vibrant, sustainable places to live, work and visit. Your passion and commitment is inspiring and the embodiment of everything that is good in our communities. Investment in our communities through this wonderful competition reaps long-term rewards for all, as showcased by the winning groups here today. The impact of Supervalu TidyTowns can be seen, particularly in fostering inclusion, sustainability and community engagement.”

SuperValu has been the competition’s main sponsor since 1991, and today Luke Hanlon, Managing Director of SuperValu, announced the results with Minister Calleary.

Some of the other big winners on the day included:

  • Rosscarbery, Co. Cork awarded Ireland’s Tidiest Village.
  • Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim awarded Ireland’s Tidiest Small Town.
  • Dalkey, Co. Dublin awarded Ireland’s Tidiest Large Town.
  • Tralee, Co. Kerry awarded Ireland’s Tidiest Large Urban Centre.

The Minister also thanked SuperValu, the competition’s sponsor, adding:

“SuperValu has sponsored the competition for over 30 years and continues to champion sustainability through their supportive network of retailers countrywide. The team has worked very closely with my department to make sure that this competition continues to thrive. Many of our groups have entered the competition consecutively for over 50 years – demonstrating a great example of dedication to their communities.”

Luke Hanlon, Managing Director of SuperValu commented after the awards:

“I want to extend my warmest congratulations to Carrick-on-Shannon on being named Ireland’s Tidiest Town for 2025. This remarkable achievement reflects the passion and commitment of the committee and volunteers. This award is not just a recognition of hard work, but a shining example of what can happen when communities come together with the shared purpose of making their towns and villages better places to live, work, and play.

“As Ireland’s largest retail network, SuperValu is inspired by the phenomenal pride and dedication of more than 30,000 volunteers across 929 committees, who together have given over one million hours to their communities this year alone. It’s heartening to see that 70% of groups have been active for more than 10 years, demonstrating a remarkable legacy of commitment and civic engagement. Not only that, but the initiative continues to attract a wide range of volunteers, with 25% aged between 14 and 45, and 11% made up of students. The commitment of volunteers and our independent retailers, who consistently go above and beyond for their local areas is proof that local action can create real lasting change, transforming our streets and protecting biodiversity.”

Luke Hanlon, Managing Director of SuperValu continued:

“I also want to acknowledge the continued support of the Department, whose partnership and dedication remain central to the success of this programme. At SuperValu, we are incredibly proud to champion TidyTowns, and we look forward to working hand in hand with the Department and local committees for many years to come. To all those who have contributed this year, thank you for your outstanding efforts, you are driving force behind this initiative.”

Minister Calleary also announced a special allocation of €1.5 million in funding to support the work of TidyTowns groups in their continued efforts to make their towns and villages better places to live, work and visit.

Since 2017, the Department has provided over €12 million in funding to support the activities of these groups.

The Minister concluded:

“The focus on sustainability and biodiversity initiatives are particularly impressive and important for us all. The funding from my department will help Groups continue with their inspirational efforts to transform their communities and the local environment.”

The SuperValu TidyTowns competition is organised by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht and sponsored by SuperValu who have sponsored the competition since 1991.

Supervalu & Centra rally for Breast Cancer Awareness with ‘Sponsor a Mammogram’ campaign

Posted on by Claire Marshall

Leading convenience retailers SuperValu and Centra are once again joining forces with long-term charity partner Action Cancer to deliver life-saving breast screening appointments across Northern Ireland, as the annual Sponsor a Mammogram campaign returns Monday 13 October.

Coinciding with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the initiative challenges every SuperValu and Centra store to raise a minimum of £120 – the cost for Action Cancer to provide one free mammogram to women aged 40–49 and 70+, who fall outside the NHS screening age range.

In 2024, Action Cancer screened 1,768 women on board its mobile detection unit, the Big Bus, with 12 women receiving a breast cancer diagnosis and beginning treatment thanks to early detection.

From Monday 13th to Sunday 19th October, staff at SuperValu and Centra stores across Northern Ireland will be collecting donations in-store, with customers able to contribute via bucket collections or at the tills using cash or card.

Action Cancer Ambassador and mum of two Victoria Stewart from Ballymoney was diagnosed following a screening on the Big Bus in Stranocum in February 2024. Victoria shared: “I believe Action Cancer saved my life. My breast cancer was detected when I was 47 years old at an early and treatable stage. Following a lumpectomy and nine sessions of radiotherapy, I am now cancer free and doing well.

“I had no lumps or bumps, or cause for concern. It would have been at least three years, before I would have been called by the NHS screening programme for women aged 50+. By then I may have been facing a very different outcome. Women in their 40s are privileged to be able to access this free service in NI and I am so grateful for the Big Bus in bringing its life-saving services to my local community.

“Please get involved and support the Sponsor a Mammogram campaign, your support could make all the difference to a local woman; a wife, a mother, a daughter, just like me.”

Carol Marshall, Brand Communications Manager for SuperValu and Centra, added: “Thanks to our incredible retailers, colleagues and customers, we’ve raised a landmark £4 million for Action Cancer since our partnership started, to keep the Big Bus on the road. This year’s campaign features real women whose lives were changed by early detection. We encourage everyone to support this vital cause and help save the life of a mum, sister, daughter, aunt, wife or friend.”

Lucy McCusker, Corporate Fundraising Manager at Action Cancer, said: “We’re thrilled to have SuperValu and Centra’s continued support. Every penny raised helps us provide free screenings that offer reassurance – or potentially life-saving diagnoses – to women across Northern Ireland.”

McHugh’s Centra Edenmore celebrates 63 years in business

Posted on by Claire Marshall

McHugh’s, a proud family-run business now in its third generation, is celebrating 63 years of service in the community, with the recent announcement of a revamp of its Centra Edenmore store.

The family business began their relationship with Musgrave in 1997, opening their first Centra in Edenmore the following year in March 1998. This was followed by Centra Rosemount (1999), Greendale (2000), and Kilbarrack Road (2003), cementing the group’s reputation as a key local retailer and employer.

The McHugh Group was founded in 1962 by Gerry McHugh and his two brothers Joe and Danny. The business has grown from a single store named ‘Thrifty’ to a diverse portfolio of four Centra stores, two off-licences, a restaurant, a Gastro pub and the Perfect Day Café. Gerry’s son Diarmuid now leads the group with his brother Cathal. The 3rd generation are represented by Gerry’s grandchildren Orla, Cian, Sean, Charlie and Andie. Diarmuid’s son Charlie recently joined the business to continue the family tradition into a third generation, serving the local community with the very best of Centra’s market-leading offering.

With over 300 employees, the majority living locally, the McHugh Group has long been one of North Dublin’s most significant employers, providing opportunities for generations of people to develop their careers. Beyond employment, McHugh’s Centra has actively supported community life through partnerships with grassroots sports clubs, youth initiatives, and local charities. To mark 63 years of Centra Edenmore, the McHugh Group have donated €6,300 to St. Francis Hospice.

Speaking about the family business and the journey it has been on for the last 63 years, Diarmuid McHugh said: “My father Gerry established the business in 1962 and it is fitting that our 63rd anniversary aligns with his 91st birthday. We’re proud to follow in his footsteps, serving our loyal Centra customers by putting their needs first always. In this time, we have grown to become a trusted local employer at the heart of the local community in Edenmore and are proud to have supported many local community organisations and initiatives. I would like to thank our wonderful staff, past and present, and Musgrave for the great support they have given us since we joined forces and look forward to working alongside them into the future.”

Luke Hanlon, Managing Director, Centra said: “The McHugh Group has been a trusted and successful partner for Musgrave since we started working together in 1997. The latest revamp of their Centra Edenmore store shows their determination to continue improving and delivering for the local community. They are a fantastic exemplar of Centra’s community retail ethos. The fact that they are a multi-generational business is testament to the foundations established from the beginning, and the values of the business have been passed down through the generations. I would like to wish them every success in the years to come.”

Stacey Smyth, Head of HR for Musgrave NI said: “Following the resounding success of last year’s partnership, we’re thrilled to renew our involvement with SistersIn and see so many of our mentors return for a second year. Their enthusiasm and commitment to building confidence, sharing experiences, and empowering young women is truly inspiring. We’re equally excited to welcome new mentors to the programme and look forward to the impact they’ll make as part of this growing community.”

Gillian McKeown, Director of Operations and Growth at SistersIN added: “It’s fantastic to see Musgrave NI renew their partnership with SistersIN and expand their mentoring team. This continued commitment reflects the growing momentum behind our programme and the shared belief that investing in young women today builds stronger, more inclusive workplaces tomorrow.”

The SistersIN Leadership programme is part of a pupil centric ecosystem where schools, leaders and businesses collaborate closely to create a repeatable, practical, real-world and lasting learning experience for all the students, regardless of socio-economic background or religion. It provides pupils with longer-term exposure to female leaders who can serve as inspirational role models, learn about the world of work and get visibility to different career options.

Posted on by Claire Marshall

Musgrave NI has invested £200,000 in revamping its Centra store in Moira, which celebrated its fresh new look this week. The store which supports 22 jobs in the community has been transformed to offer its customers a bright and contemporary new layout and more modern shopping experience.

We’re also deeply committed to our partnership with Action Cancer, helping bring life-saving early detection services to communities across Northern Ireland.”

Espresso we care – coffee campaign brews support for local charities

Posted on by Claire Marshall

Coffee lovers across Northern Ireland can make a difference with every cup, as SuperValu, Centra and Mace stores launch a charity initiative in support of Action Cancer and Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke (NICHS).

Starting on Wednesday, 1st October – International Coffee Day – the campaign will run until Saturday, 4th October. During this period, 50p from every Frank and Honest Coffee sold in participating stores will be donated directly to the brands’ charity partners to help fund life-saving services and health programmes.

Now in its fifth year, the ‘Espresso We Care’ campaign has raised almost £100,000 to date, including over £28,000 last year. These funds help keep Action Cancer’s Big Bus mobile clinic on the road, delivering breast screenings, health checks and skin cancer detection services. They also support Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke in providing care services and health promotion programmes for thousands of people living with, or at risk of developing chest, heart, and stroke conditions.

Maurice Cusack, Senior Marketing Manager at Musgrave NI, which owns the retail brands, said: “Supporting local is very important to Musgrave and our SuperValu, Centra and Mace stores. We’re proud of our long-standing partnerships with Action Cancer and Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke, and we’re pleased to bring back the ‘Espresso We Care’ campaign for a fifth year. We hope our caring customers will pick up a coffee when they’re in store and help us raise funds for two charities doing vital work in communities across Northern Ireland.”

SuperValu and Centra have been partnering with Action Cancer since 2001, and earlier this year reached a landmark £4 million in fundraising for the charity.

Thanking SuperValu and Centra staff and their customers, Gareth Kirk, CEO of Action Cancer said: “We are delighted that the Espresso We Care charity fundraiser is back again this year. Thanks to the continued support of SuperValu and Centra and their generous customers, we can bring our life-saving breast screening service, skin cancer detection and health checks to communities across Northern Ireland on the Big Bus.

“Please purchase a Frank and Honest coffee to support this fantastic initiative. Not only will you enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, but you will also be helping Action Cancer make a positive difference to the lives of local people.”

MACE’s partnership with Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke dates back to 2016 and has so far raised £418,000 for the charity.
Declan Cunnane, Chief Executive of Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke, added: “Chest, heart and stroke conditions affect at least 400,000 people in Northern Ireland, and we’re committed to supporting those living with these illnesses through our care services. We also deliver vital prevention programmes and support ground-breaking research to lead the fight locally against chest, heart and stroke conditions. In the past year alone, over 36,000 people and organisations benefited from our services – but with almost 90% of our income coming from public donations, support from initiatives like this is essential.

“We’re grateful to Mace customers for their continued support and generosity and encourage everyone to pick up a coffee during the campaign. Every cup helps us reach more people and families across Northern Ireland.”

Starting at £2.90 for a Frank and Honest coffee, 50p from the sale of each coffee will be donated to the charities over the four-day period.

New food & drink producers join Food Academy 2025 as programme sales top €260m

Posted on by Claire Marshall

SuperValu, in partnership with the Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs), has welcomed a wave of new food and drink producers into the 2025 Food Academy Programme who will have the opportunity to be on SuperValu shelves 52 weeks of the year.

Since its inception in 2013, Food Academy has supported more than 1,000 producers, generating over €260m in sales through SuperValu stores nationwide. Food Academy products are projected to generate €30m in retail sales in 2025 alone. Household names such as The Happy Pear, Pizza Sorrento and SynerChi Kombucha are among the programme’s many success stories.

Fresh research insights* from SuperValu highlight a powerful consumer shift towards provenance, sustainability, and seasonal eating:

  • Almost half (48%) actively prioritising purchasing Irish-made products.
  • 62% make an effort to buy fresh produce that is in season.

These insights underline the growing importance of initiatives like Food Academy, now in its 12th year, which has become a launchpad for local food and drink entrepreneurs, equipping them with retail expertise and industry knowledge to grow sustainable businesses while meeting evolving shopper expectations.

This year’s intake reflects the breadth and creativity of Ireland’s food and drink sector, spanning everything from premium Irish honey, Lebanese breads and cheeses to seaweed-based pestos, hummus, and innovative electrolyte powders. The line-up also features alcohol-free cocktails, artisan puddings, organic produce and contemporary sweet treats. Together, the 2025 entrants showcase the innovation and variety shaping Ireland’s evolving food landscape.

Food Academy is the only accredited producer development programme, offering participants a Certificate in Entrepreneurship from TU Dublin, which recognises and accredits the skills gained through this unique programme. Participants on the programme receive tailored training in branding, marketing, finance, social media, food safety and quality, alongside one-to-one mentoring from food and retail experts, including Musgrave personnel.

Carmel Biggane, Food Academy Manager at SuperValu, said: “SuperValu has proudly championed the Food Academy programme for more than a decade, and it’s incredible to see the continued energy, creativity and ambition of Ireland’s food and drink producers. Each year, the standard of applications rises, making the selection process tougher than ever – a true reflection of the innovation happening across the country.

I want to warmly congratulate the new producers joining the Food Academy this year and look forward to seeing their ideas flourish into the household names of tomorrow.”

Tomás Hayes, Head of Food, Local Enterprise Office, added: “The Network of Local Enterprise Office has engaged with SuperValu over many years in the delivery of the Food Academy Programme. This programme continues to deliver food innovation and entrepreneurship. The Irish food sector is crucial to the nation’s economy, serving as its largest indigenous export sector, supporting significant employment, and bolstering rural and coastal communities. Sustainable food production is critical to our wellbeing and the support for early-stage producers through the Food Academy Programme supports this action. Many of these businesses will grow creating valuable localised employment with an ambition of growing into export markets.”
