That’s a wrap on Pete’s 💙

Thank you so much to our suppliers, staff and customers for all your support since January 2021, when we took over from Pete Moran.

We have loved being such a great part of the community during our time here and many of you are now friends of ours forever. Our babies have grown up here and our parents have retired during our time here too, although they have worked just as hard as us in the shop sometimes 😂

Just because we have left the shop doesn’t mean we have left the village, we are always available to help any of you that needs our help so don’t hesitate to contact us 🥰

Please support Gillian as she takes over from us to keep this little shop in kilmaganny open - go show some support by following Carolan’s Grocery Shop here on fb 💙

Goodbye Pete’s it’s been a blast!!! 👋🏼

Ashleigh, Dane, Indigo and Seven 💙 ###x

Some exciting news!

A little update from Pete’s 💙

It’s with very heavy hearts that we have to let everyone know that Pete’s will be closing its doors on 17th October 2026

This has not been an easy decision for us to make. Unfortunately, with the current economic climate and the ever-increasing costs involved in running a small local shop, the business is simply no longer financially sustainable for us.

We have tried our very best to keep things going, but we have reached the point where we have had to make the incredibly difficult decision to close.

We have absolutely loved owning this little shop for the past five and a half years. It has been such a huge part of our lives and our family’s lives. Our children, Indigo and now Seven, have grown up here too — spending so much of their childhood in and around the shop, getting to know all the familiar faces and becoming part of this wonderful little community alongside us. 💙

There are so many memories tied up in these four walls, and although we know closing is the right decision for our family, that certainly doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier.

We want to say a huge thank you to every single person who has supported Pete’s — whether you called in every day, picked up the odd few bits, stopped for a chat, or simply chose to support a small local business. Every purchase and every bit of support has genuinely meant so much to us.

A shop like ours is about far more than what’s on the shelves. It’s the familiar faces, the conversations, the laughs and being part of the local community, and that is what we will miss the most.

We will remain open until 17th October 2026, and we would absolutely love to see as many of you as possible before we close the doors for the final time.

Thank you for supporting us, for supporting local, and for being part of Pete’s. 💙

Unfortunately due to the shop being a little quieter in the current climate we are forced to cap how much cash back we can give daily.

If you are told we can’t do cash back today we are extremely sorry but we just don’t have an abundance of it on premises with many people using cards.

Sundays we are even more limited with cash back due to the shorter opening hours so some sundays we won’t be able to give cash back at all.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and We thank those that are supporting us daily, we really appreciate your custom to keep this little village shop open.

Thank you
Ashleigh

Unfortunately due to the road works for the next couple of days you won’t be able to park outside the shop

Please don’t let it deter you from coming in we need your custom as one bad week in a small shop like this isn’t good for keeping it open

If you can try and park further up by the guard station and walk down that would be advised and we greatly appreciate your patience and support 👍🏼☺️

Thank You
