The owners have put a great deal of thought into how the store works for the customer in both layout and look and feel. Hence a recent £300,000 refit has focused attention on coffee as well as fresh foods and food-to-go, with the result that coffee sales have grown by 54%. The store prides itself on its standards of hygiene, and this is reflected in its drinks counter. Also winner of Best Site in Northern Ireland (up to 4mlpa)
