Strabane Tops Supermarket's 'Love League'

A 'love league' table by supermarket chain Asda has revealed the most romantic place to be in Northern Ireland – as well as the least romantic.

The data has been compiled based on Asda's sales of Valentine's products over the last two years.

Strabane topped the list, selling 43% more red roses and 39% more chocolate heart lollipops than any other of its stores in NI. At the other end of the scale, was Larne.

Asda's Shore Road store in North Belfast claimed the runner-up spot in the survey, followed by Asda Kilkeel, where the stores sold 34% and 28% respectively, more champagne and prosecco compared to the previous year.

Asda Ballyclare may have spent the second least on flowers, but customers did purchase 36% more Valentine's chocolates than any other NI Asda store.

And in west Belfast, lingerie sales in Asda Westwood surged last year; 59% more underwear was bought for Valentine gifts than in 2015. Its closest rival was Asda Newtownards where sales of lingerie sets increased by 57% compared to the previous year.

Billy Clelland, Quality Manager, Asda NI, said: "Our Valentine's Day sales figures over the last two years are quite revealing when it comes to regional displays of love.

"It's clear that giving flowers remains the number one romantic gesture, and with 24 beautiful red roses costing just £10 or our bouquet of 100 sweetheart roses for only £25, it doesn't take a lot to show someone you care."
