The Mullingar Chamber Shopping Voucher Scheme with support from Flynn Fuels and the Mullingar Credit Union was launched on Friday in Market Square. This shop local initiative supports local retailers and community by encouraging local spending. In 2016, approximately €200,000 of vouchers were sold and Retail Excellence Ireland research shows that this creates value to the extent of €800,000 to the local economy!
Christmas is a particularly popular period for the Mullingar Chamber Shopping Voucher Scheme as vouchers are the perfect gift for friends and family, and as an employer, the gift of vouchers to employees up to the value of €500 is tax-free!
Mullingar Chamber President Tom Hyland said:
“This Chamber initiative is designed to promote spending with local retailers and enhance economic growth for the town”.
