At first glance Hallisseys appears to be a typical Irish One-Stop Shop, and indeed it has stocked all manner of household goods, from groceries to paint, since 1954. If you pop inside the door to pick up some bread or milk you may find yourself tempted to wander the aisles and discover an Aladdins Cave of homewares and gifts. You can find everything from wine-making kits and cookie-cutters to birdhouses and paint ... and everything in-between! This year our massive selection of Halloween and Christmas items have spilled over into a 'pop-up shop' a few doors up the street that we have named 'Hallisseys Seasonal'. Hallisey's is a family business and its huge range of goods are carefully selected from established brands that are known for quality and reliability.
