Maggie Rocks the Rails to claim national award
After her success at the recent National Age Friendly Awards, Maggie Cronin is still celebrating the win for her unique mobile pop-up clothes shop, Rock the Rails.
The former North Kerry resident has been bringing plenty of style and energy to the service which takes fashion and clothes shopping to the elderly in Kerry and beyond.
With her Rock the Rails service, Maggie visits daycare centres, active retirement groups and nursing homes providing the elderly with the opportunity and independence to access her wide range of clothes - and along with her dedicated service, she also brings some karaoke to make the visit even more memorable.
The National Age Friendly Ireland Awards were held on October 8th at the Strand Hotel in Limerick when Maggie’s business, Rock the Rails Family Store based in Kilrush, County Clare, was named as the winner of the Age Friendly Business Innovation Award.
