“I’m proud to have won this national award and grateful to my loyal customers for their support over many years,” said Sue McGary, the founder of French Affair. “Tablecloths are often at the heart of gatherings of family and friends where lifetime memories are created. It’s an honour to play a small part in those special moments. A beautiful tablecloth can also elevate an everyday meal into a special occasion.”
Sue McGary explained she is continually looking for ways to improve the business and create a shopping experience to delight her customers.
