Picture – Perfect Property: Local Estate Agent Wins Best Shopfront Award!

Byrne Malone Estate Agents Ltd, a business located in Tallaght Village, has been awarded the prestigious "Best Shop Front" recognition under the South Dublin County Council's Shop Front Grant Scheme 2024.

The Shop Front Grant Scheme is a Council initiative designed to encourage and support businesses in South Dublin County in enhancing the appearance of their premises, contributing to the overall aesthetics of local streetscapes, and boosting local commerce. In 2024, Byrne Malone Estate Agents Ltd at Village Square on the Old Bawn Road in Tallaght Village, stood out among numerous participants for its visually appealing shop front design.

Chair of the Tallaght Area Committee of South Dublin County Council, Cllr Mick Duff said  

"I congratulate Byrne Malone Estate Agents Ltd on winning the Best Shop Front Award under the Shopfront Improvement Grant Scheme 2024. Their dedication to improving their business's visual presence has contributed to the overall improvement in the aesthetics of the streetscape. Well-designed shopfronts make a place more inviting, which is good for business, and good for the community. We look forward to seeing even more businesses follow their lead. The renovations undertaken by Byrne Malone Estate Agents serve as a perfect example of how modernising design elements can greatly enhance the character of our villages.”

Peter Byrneof Byrne Malone Estate Agents said "We are incredibly proud to be recognised for our efforts in improving the look and feel of our shop front. This award is a testament to our commitment to providing a welcoming and visually engaging space for our customers. We've seen a noticeable rise in customers being drawn in by the more engaging display on our shop front, which has directly contributed to an increase in business. We’d like to thank South Dublin County Council for supporting businesses like ours and for this wonderful opportunity to stand out in the community."

The new shop front, completed as part of the grant initiative, showcases a blend of modern design and traditional features, aligning with the aesthetic values that South Dublin County Council aims to promote. The revitalisation of the shop’s exterior not only enhances its kerb appeal, but also serves as an example of how small businesses can positively impact the local community.
