ShelfLife and the CSNA (Convenience Stores and Newsagents Association) are proud to launch Ireland’s largest-ever national leaflet drop both digital and in-print, which will reach over 250,000 retail staff!
Together, along with retailers and the national media we’re distributing crucial information to empower retail workers with S.H.O.P. – a set of policies designed to protect retailers and their teams in the face of rising crime.
S.H.O.P. stands for:
S – Sentencing ➔ Mandatory jail sentences or exclusion orders for those who abuse, harass, or assault shop workers
H – Hotline ➔ A local retail crime hotline in each Garda divisional area
O – OK to Ask ➔ Change defamation laws so shop workers can ask if someone has paid for goods
P – Presence ➔ Increased Garda presence in retail areas
With election season upon us, this campaign gives retail workers a powerful voice to hold political candidates accountable, urging them to prioritise the safety of our stores and communities.

It’s time for change
Vincent Jennings, CEO of the CSNA noted that it’s time for change.
“Retailers are the backbone of our communities, and we need candidates who will stand up for their safety. Stronger protections are urgently needed,” he added.
“The campaign has garnered widespread support from leading retailers, wholesalers and suppliers to the retail trade, as well as representative bodies. Join us in advocating for safer retail spaces—let’s make a real impact this election season.”
Together, let’s make our stores safer for everyone.
