John M Reidy, Killarney, Co Kerry

Established in 1870’s, John M Reidy’s was once home to three shops. Number 3 was a hardware shop and agricultural supply store, number 4 was a grocer’s, and number 5 was a bakery and flour merchant. Horses stabled behind the shops used two gates on Main Street and one on New Street to make deliveries around the town. The business was a bustling hub of trade in the town, selling both local and imported goods to the public, traders, farmers, high-profile hotels, and local religious institutions.

Today, J.M. Reidys is a popular hotspot for both locals and visitors to the town and one if the town’s most photographed premises.
