SPAR Sion Mills in Henderson GroupStrabane, Northern Ireland has started off the new year by celebrating 30 years serving their local community.
Opened in 1993, the store was owned by Anne and John Doherty in the first 15 years, before they handed over the shop to Anne’s brother and sister-in-law, John and Donna McKenna.
From the two employees at the time of opening, the team has now grown to 28 colleagues from the local community.
The store is at the heart of the community, with John and Donna being local to the area, and they strive to provide top quality products and services for their shoppers. Most important to the couple though, is the warm welcome and friendly service they and their team provide for every shopper.
“We love being part of the everyday lives of those in the local community and enjoy chatting to all our customers, who we have gotten to know so well over the years,” John commented.
“We can’t believe it’s the 30-year anniversary of the store and we are looking forward to many more years serving this wonderful community.”
Over the years the store has had four extensions to enable them to bring an impressive offering to the area, including a wide range of locally sourced produce, an expansive range of fresh groceries, Irvines butchery and delicious hot food for those on the go. Food to go is complemented by a full Barista Bar Coffee offering, ice cream from the Mauds counter and a refreshing Frozen Fanta machine.
John and Donna also feel it is important to give back and have raised money for charities, both local and further afield, including the Society of St Vincent De Paul and Concern Worldwide. They also show support to the local Sion Mills Community Association, a voluntary association, also formed in 1993, which shows support to the children and senior citizens in the Sion Mills area.
