Paddy commented: “We have worked with the McPolin family under the Mace brand for several years, and we are delighted to continue our partnership with them as they move to the Centra brand.

“The recent renovation will be a real asset to the community, delivering improved convenience along with great value for local shoppers.

“As part of our commitment to value, shoppers will benefit from over 100 special offer items every week and over 300 own brand products which are up to 40% cheaper than the better-known brands. That’s on top of our Epic Deals on four big brand products every three weeks.

“This store is a fantastic addition to the growing Centra portfolio, and we wish the McPolin family all the best on their new journey.”

“We are delighted to officially relaunch our store.”
