Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets marked its 25th anniversary in style at its Killarney store on Friday last.

This is a landmark year for the company as they celebrate a quarter of a century in business across all five stores, located in Cahersiveen, Killarney, Tralee Manor West, Tralee Outlet and Newcastle West.

Kicking off the festivities at the Corcoran’s Killarney store included speeches by founder and owner Kieran Corcoran, Shane O’ Callaghan (Financial Controller), Elaine Buckley, Community Engagement Manager, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (AADI), Colette O’ Connor, CEO of Tralee Chamber Alliance, and Johnny McGuire, Killarney Chamber co-president.

Radio Kerry’s Brendan Fuller carried out a series of live interviews throughout his afternoon show featuring Kieran Corcoran, Helen Murphy (Daily-divadiary), Shane O’Callaghan, PJ Sugrue, Corcoran’s longest-term employee from Cahersiveen, and Elaine Buckley (AADI).

All attendees received a Corcoran’s gift bag, packed full of goodies and Corcoran’s gift vouchers and one of the highlights of the day was the Zumba dancing segment led by Michelle Salute, from Zumba Fitness. The kids’ face painting by Corcoran’s own, Marzena Jegouzu, also went down a treat, for a day that was filled with celebration, laughter, and fun.
‘We are delighted to be celebrating our 25th Anniversary in the Corcoran’s Killarney store. It is hard to believe that we opened our first Corcoran’s store 25 years ago in Cahersiveen, the Monday after Puck Fair. Our aim over the years has always been to provide top quality furniture, carpets and service to our valued customers,” said founder Kieran Corcoran.
“The customer is always at the forefront of our mind, and we continually strive to deliver excellence. I would like to take this opportunity to thank both the team at Corcoran’s for their ongoing dedication, and our existing, loyal, and new clientele. We look forward to many more years of continued service across all our five stores.”
Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland is Corcoran’s chosen Charity of the Year, and Corcoran’s were privileged to have Áine and Darragh Caddigan and their amazing AADI wonder dog Buzz join in the festivities. All three took part in Corcoran’s recent charity fundraising walk on 8 June on behalf of AADI which raised €12,387.
