The Irish Times and AIB Merchant Services celebrated the winners of the Best Shops competition in a prize-giving ceremony in The Irish Times building on September 20th.
The Best Shops competition seeks the shops that stand-out, tantalise customers with their merchandise, go the extra mile in terms of service and generally make customers feel that they appreciate their money. The competition relies on reader nominations to uncover these hidden gems.
“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. “This is the 5th year of the Best Shops competition, which is sponsored by AIB. It’s going from strength to strength and we were delighted to crown 13 very worthy winners.”
The launch, reader nominations process, longlist, shortlist and winners were documented in detail throughout the competition in The Irish Times Saturday Magazine and on irishtimes.com. The full list of shortlisted shops and winners is available at www.irishtimes.com/bestshops.
