What Our Readers Think:
"Grocery retailing in Ireland has undergone hugely significant changes over the past 50 years and I am delighted that Retail News has been there to guide us along the way. The magazine has played a very important role in connecting independent retailers to the issues of the day as well as representing the interests of these retailers at a national level. I know I speak for all Mace retailers in congratulating Kathleen and her team on 50 years in business, and I wish Retail News every success in the future."
Peter Kealy, Chairman, Mace
"I would like to congratulate all at Retail News on an outstanding 50 years of service to the Irish retail trade. To reach this important milestone in such a competitive business is testament to the continuing editorial quality of the publication as well as the hard work and dedication of those involved. When the first SPAR store was established in Artane in 1963 it was important to have an established retail trade publication to support the fledgling brand and I am delighted that both SPAR and Retail News have flourished ever since. We look forward to another 50 years of fruitful partnership."
Leo Crawford, Chairman, SPAR Ireland and President of SPAR International
“The fact that Retail News is marking its fiftieth anniversary speaks volume about the publication. The media industry in Ireland is as competitive as the retail sector and over the past fifty years Retail News has managed to keep its fingers on the very pulse of this ever changing market and remain an essential informed read. Knowing Kathleen and her team, I am sure they will not be resting on their laurels and we look forward to the next 50 years of Retail News. Congratulations and keep up the good work.”
Donal Horgan, Managing Director, MSVC
Retail News has always been a consistent and important source of reliable information on business and products in the grocery sector. Every manufacturer, supplier and even retailer in the sector, for whom I have worked over the past 25 years, have endorsed Retail News as one of the essential trade magazines for communicating with their customers and peers. While the layout has changed over the years its design has always remained clean and uncluttered. It has managed to use a bright, sharp design without distracting from the text.
