Maxol presented with Prestigious European Retail Award
Dublin service station wins big on European stage
This week an Irish service station beat off strong competition from all over Europe and Maxol Ballycoolin was named European Convenience Retailer of the Year.
The award was presented to Maxol Ballycoolin, Dublin during the 2022 NACS Convenience Summit Europe in Berlin with the judges agreeing that the service station is an excellent representation of how Maxol is future-proofing its business by focusing on customer needs and delivering a food-focused experience.
Excellence and innovation
The NACS European Convenience Retail Awards recognise and promote convenience and forecourt retailing excellence in Europe and provide retailers with the opportunity to showcase their innovation and creativity to the global retailing community. Maxol is no stranger to NACS awards and last year, won the 2021 NACS European Convenience Retailer Best of the Best Store Award for the redevelopment of its service station in Newbridge, Kildare.
Brian Donaldson, CEO of The Maxol Group said; “Being recognised on the European stage as a leader in convenience retailing is hugely rewarding and I’m thrilled for all the team that have worked so hard on achieving this award for Maxol Ballycoolin. This award recognises how Maxol is transforming from being a traditional forecourt retailer to becoming a leader in innovation and creating the service station of the future. Our partner Aramark and their dedicated team at Maxol Ballycoolin are incredible ambassadors for the Maxol brand both in Ireland and now, across Europe.”
Aramark, the global specialist in food and facilities management services, operates the Ballycoolin service station on behalf of Maxol and speaking about the win Mark Cribbin, Account Director at Aramark Ireland said, “This award is proof of the success of the Maxol - Aramark partnership, which continues to go from strength to strength. We are so proud of our people in Ballycoolin who bring the best of service to both the local community and the significant passing trade in the area. Ballycoolin is a very busy service station and consistently delivers the highest of standards and I know there will be some well-deserved celebrations to mark the win over the coming days.”
