Family-run Co Tyrone shop at heart of local community opens up after three month renovation

A family-run shop that has been at the heart of the local community in Dromore, Co Tyrone for years has reopened after a three month renovation.

The completely refurbished Vivo store in Dromore, owned by the Corry family, officially opened on Friday, November 25, and brings upgraded services and will create 26 new jobs in the local community.

The Corry family have owned the store for the past 17 years and has always been at the heart of the community in the town.

Having family ties in Dromore, the family have always felt a connection to the town and say it is important to them to be able to provide the best services to their shoppers who they know so well.

The new 3,842 ft. store offers hot food for those on the go and a local butcher, Irvines, mans the meat counter in the newly opened store.

Store manager Aiden Corry said his family are part of the fabric of the town now and was delighted to see the shop refurbished.

“It’s amazing to see the store getting such a great refurbishment," Aiden said.

"My family have owned this store for 17 years and we are so proud to be able to provide excellent products and services to our shoppers.

“We know our shoppers and those in the area so well and love being able to stop and have a chat when they come in store, playing a part in the everyday lives of those in our local community”.
