Moran’s Ballykelly celebrate after top award win for food to go

Known for their impressive food and catering options, Moran’s Retail Group has no intentions of resting on their laurels and continues to be an award-winning business for owners, John and Donna Moran.

Their reputation was further cemented last month when they took home two top awards at the Neighbourhood Retailer Awards – Food to Go Store of the Year and Forecourt of the Year Category 1.

Marking almost 40 years in the retail industry, John and Donna Moran operate three very successful stores in the Derry~Londonderry area, namely Strand Road, Coleraine and Ballykelly.

And it was their Ballykelly store which secured the Food to Go Store of the Year accolade at the 2024 NR Awards, with Donna and daughter, Eimear on-hand to collect the prestigious award.

Judges praised the store for its fresh, innovative options in the food to go category, adding the variety on offer was exceptional.

Speaking to NR following their win, Donna said the award was a testament to the hard work the entire team puts in every single day and congratulated the Ballykelly team on their well-deserved win.

Another thrilling awards night was held at the Crowne Plaza Belfast, where Northern Ireland’s top names in grocery were in attendance for a night of celebration for the retail industry, hosted once again by Donna Traynor.
