The new Centra store on O’Connell Street has won a major international retail award in Las Vegas.

The new concept Ryan’s Centra store clinched a gold A.R.E. Design Award for the best convenience store at the awards in the famous Nevada resort.

The awards were announced at Globalshop 2016, the worlds largest annual retail design show held in Las Vegas.
