Kiernan’s Service Station Group commenced business in April 2000 as a forecourt/convenience shop enterprise. Bernie and Philip Kiernan partnered with Texaco Chevron and BWG and began operating the Texaco/Spar on the Dublin Rd just outside Cavan Town. Their mission was to employ the Deli/ Food To Go Offering as the focus of the business. The growth and development, which followed, resulted in the need to expand the premises. In 2003 new project was undertaken the Texaco/Spar store was extended to double its capacity and running concurrently. Experience and confidence in the industry led to a natural progression of further development. Hence, in June 2006, Kiernan’s purchased the Maxol Petrol Station on the Ballinagh Road, the N55 exit from Cavan town. The core deli/food offering with a proven track record of success was the obvious business plan for the Kiernan Group Service Station strategy in this third venture. The immediate introduction of a sit down facility and a partnership with the Spar shop symbol would be Bernie and Philip’s way of branding the shop as their own. The Kiernan’s are also acutely aware of the need to create individuality and authenticity in each of their stores. They endeavour to meet the needs of their broad customer base by providing a large range of products and services in a friendly atmospheric and customer orientated setting whilst retaining their excellence as a provider of quality food in the convenience sector. |
