Marking ten years in business, the team at Specsavers Longford are celebrating their milestone birthday with an in-store celebration.

Customers are being invited into the store at Specsavers Townparks, Longford on Saturday, April 13 for a family fun day with music and refreshments throughout the day.

Local legend Declan Nerney will also be visiting the store. The local singer songwriter originally opened the store on its first day back in 2014, so this is a great opportunity to have him back to celebrate ten years on.

Declan has acquired a loyal fan base over the span of his long-standing musical career. Specsavers Longford will also have plenty of things to keep the little ones entertained, such as face painting, and an all-important colouring competition.

Since opening with just eight staff members in 2014, Specsavers Longford are delighted to have grown to a team of 22 local staff, including expert Optometrists and Audiologists. The optical and audiology teams proudly and passionately serve the local community and are always looking to grow and improve their business, ensuring they provide the best possible service, support, and advice to their local and loyal customers.

Retail Director Aisling Nertney said, “We are delighted to have been located here in the heart of the community for the last ten years, providing the local people of Longford with the best technology in eye care and audiology. The expertise of our colleagues, coupled with the technology available to them, makes Specsavers Longford a great choice for optics and audiology services.”

Experts in eye care, the Longford store boasts three dedicated optical testing rooms, overseen by a team of optometrists; Fiona Ferguson, Keith McCallion, and Emma Clarke. From routine eye examinations to contact lens fittings, Specsavers Longford can provide all aspects of professional eye care.
