We were thrilled to announce that Pettitt’s SuperValu St Aidan’s was awarded the prestigious titles of National SuperValu Large Store of the Year and Overall Store of the Year 2024 at the annual SuperValu Conference, held at the Great Southern Hotel in Killarney. Competing against nine of the best SuperValu stores from around Ireland, we were honoured to be recognised for the outstanding efforts of our team and the incredible support of our community. The award was presented by SuperValu Managing Director Ian Allen, alongside Sales Director Dan Curtin and Jean-François Michel, Accounts Director from sponsor Three Ireland.
A Testament to Excellence
The judging process, led by independent retail consultant Paul Ellison, focused on key areas including product range and quality, customer service, store presentation and innovation, fresh-food offering, hygiene standards, and sustainability.
We were proud to achieve outstanding scores in areas such as our bakery, kitchen, cook-at- home, and florist departments. Our leadership, management professionalism, and commitment to innovation were also praised throughout the competition.
A key highlight for us was being recognised for our sustainability initiatives. Following the installation of new energy-efficient refrigerators and solar panels, we achieved a 60% reduction in CO₂ emissions — an achievement that reflected our ongoing commitment to a greener future.
Community at Our Core
Supporting our local community had always been at the heart of what we did. We were especially proud of our partnerships with the Wexford senior hurling and football teams, and we remained committed to backing our local heroes both on and off the field.
