The last five years have been a period of growth for McDade\u2019s Centra Clogher, with an extensive renovation completed in 2019. A new forecourt was added and store expansion, all culminating in a significant boost to the local community and economy – and saw them Highly Commended in Forecourt of the Year Category 2 at last year\u2019s NR Awards.<\/strong><\/p>\n Owned by retailer John McDade, the store has developed substantially since taking over the site in 2007, with improved access, additional car parking and customer toilet facilities all introduced, providing enhanced convenience to local customers and commuters on the main Belfast to Enniskillen route.<\/p>\n While sales were modest when they first bought the site initially, the store soon gained momentum, which Wendy said was the result of hard work and responding to consumer needs.<\/p>\n \u201cDuring the first couple of years we focused on extended opening hours, improving the product range, adding an off licence and developing a coffee and hot food operation,\u201d said Wendy.<\/p>\n \u201cIn 2019 we added a new forecourt and renovated both out and up. We extended our storeroom, changed the overall layout of the retail store, moved and extended our deli, added a seated area and self-service tills and gained three large offices and a brand new canteen upstairs.<\/p>\n \u201cWe introduced an ice cream \u2018corner\u2019 that serves gelato ice cream, whippy, milkshakes and lots of other treats. We extended our coffee service by adding another machine, bringing us up to three Frank and Honest machines with lots of added offerings on display at the coffee dock.\u201d<\/p>\n
