If there is one company that is displaying the spirit of the fight-back in local business in Co Donegal then it must be Kelly’s Centra in Letterkenny.
The store on the N56 at Mountain Top has been a hive of activity since Mairtin and Angie Kelly took over eight months ago.
Mairtin, who was regional manager for Centra in the North West prior to taking over at the outlet, has attributed the success of the store to a hard-working and dedicated staff.
This has in no small way contributed to the continuing success of ‘Kelly’s Centra’ and this coupled with a fantastic team has saw them scoop the prestigious E.I.Q.A excellence award for 2012.
So much has changed since the Kellys took over just eight months ago from simple things like signage to an overall emphasis on customer care.
In these times of recession the Mountain Top premises is value conscious in every department and the volume of traffic in the store is testimony to this. Máirtín has always been of the opinion that supporting local means everything and when looking around the premises it’s fantastic to see Ester’s Bakery, Milford and Lauren’s Bakery, Killybegs featuring prominently as indeed is the range of glutton free products from Brid Doherty in Stranorlar.
Deliveries to the four by four!
Kelly’s believes in taking the hassle out of shopping and you can have your groceries delivered by their ‘’4×4 delivery service’’ when you need them. The local delivery service has become increasingly popular and many customers have availed of the service since been introduced. Store Manager, Chris Toland he said that they always talk to customers and home delivery was one idea which was constantly being asked for – so they delivered.
New Initiatives
Many new initiatives have been introduced for customer convenience and one of the most recent is the ‘ Kelly’s Centra Travel Mug’. When you purchase the ‘Kelly’s Centra Travel Mug’ you get your first fill absolutely ‘free’ and when you bring along your mug for a top of tea or coffee at any time because it is a ‘ Kelly’s Centra Mug’ you will only pay €1.20 instead of the normal €1.70. This initative is the first of it’s kind in Ireland and Mairtin took this idea from a large U.S. Service station franchise and he believes will benefit hundreds of his shoppers who drink tea or coffee on the go, saving them hundreds during the course of a year.
