SWEENEY'S SHOP/POST OFFICE

Sweeney's shop is more than a 'local corner shop', although for those of us on the peninsula, it is indeed that. But it's more than that because it is so well stocked, in a modern, supermarket-style layout, yet with the friendly service you expect in your local shop. And at reasonable prices, comparable to the prices you expect to pay in the large supermarkets in towns.

The shop stocks pretty much everything you need for your daily and household needs: a wide range of foodstuffs and household products in brands you know; frozen foods (meats, vegetables, convenience foods...);

The shop also stocks a variety of other goods such as lightbulbs, painkillers and other over-the-counter medical/sanitary needs, bags for recycling/non-recycling, etc, etc.
Add to that: a sweet counter; crisps and snacks; hot/fresh takeaway convenience foods; greetings cards, including cards featuring local photos by photographer Heather Greer; a well-stocked ice cream cabinet; buckets and spades and nets for the children; and lots, lots more... and in Sweeney's shop you'll find everything to meet your needs!

And more... Sweeney's shop can meet all your fuel needs - again, we'll describe that elsewhere - click HERE.

Of course, Sweeney's shop also houses Claddaghduff's Post Office, where you can meet all of your postal needs - and indeed can make many Bank transactions easily and conveniently as well.
The Post Office aspect of Sweeney's is one of the services that makes it more than just a shop - it's a place where people meet and chat and find out what's going on.
