The Topline group
Being one of the founding members of Ireland’s largest DIY buying group, Topline, has been a crucial support to the survival and success of our business. Alongside the other 150 plus stores nationwide that are affiliated to the Topline group, we benefit from its bulk purchasing power, from its relationship with the world’s largest independent hardware group, Ace Hardware, and from its ongoing investments in marketing, staff training and merchandising. Collectively, these factors allow Topline Rowes to compete effectively with domestic and international chains, like Chadwick’s, Heiton Buckley, Woodies, B&Q and Homebase; and to offer our customers competitive prices, better friendly service and a welcoming shopping environment.
