Pure Rank Derry has spent the past year turning local loyalty into a living Wall of Fame, a community‑driven roll of honour where Derry folk vote and celebrate the businesses they love most.

Over the past year, the people of Derry have been building their local Wall of Fame on the website Pure Rank Derry.

Pure Rank Derry puts a single category to a 48-hour Facebook vote and lets the public decide the city’s go-to choice. The Creators of the websites said that it uses no judging panel, sponsors or paid placements. Just a comment poll and Derry arguing the toss.

Since launching July 2025, the page has grown to more than 3,700 followers, and 25 local businesses have earned permanent places on the Wall of Fame across categories including Derry’s Go-To Chinese, Chip Shop, Bar, Hotel and Hairdressers.

The recognition has taken on a life beyond Facebook. Winners have shared their results, celebrated with customers and displayed Pure Rank stickers in their windows around the city.

Those results now have a permanent home at purerankderry.com: a searchable public record of the businesses and places Derry chose during the first voting cycle.

With Season Two about to begin, previous categories will go back up for public vote, while every existing winner keeps their original place on the wall permanently.

Pure Rank Derry said they work under a simple model No judges. No sponsors. No paid placements. Just the people of Derry having their say.
