Maloney's Retail Stores

The Maloney’s Budgens brand has been built on five strategic pillars including independence, support for small producers of quality food and partnerships with key community groups. These are underpinned by one core belief, as a family owned business whose stores are a vital part of their local community, they believe they should have a positive impact on those people who depend on them and in turn on whom they depend: customers, other local business, suppliers, staff and ultimately the environment.
 
The business developed a strategic community plan by talking to literally hundreds of people who made up the fabric of each of the communities in which the stores are based to understand how they could benefit the community in a sustainable way using both financial and human resources. This plan took two years to design and implement and was the first priority when brothers Vince and Dennis acquired the business in 2008.

Now firmly in action, the Community Plan has raised the profile of local suppliers and helped increase their sales, worked with schools in deprived areas to address their most urgent needs, supported staff through training and initiatives such as welfare loans and developed a home delivery service for those people with different levels of disability run on a not-for-profit basis, to name but a few.

Maloney's Retail Stores has successfully built its support into the long term aims of those groups, schools, local businesses and suppliers with whom they work. In addition to this they have created a culture of empowering and developing their employees.
