Perfect gifts on your doorstep
WHETHER it’s for a birthday, anniversary, a christening or of course Christmas, you don’t need to leave Collooney or Ballisodare to find that perfect gift for your special someone.
It can often be overwhelming diving into a big city when the pressure is on and time is running out, but the good thing about shopping in Collooney or Ballisodare is that everything is at your doorstep, meaning minimal travel and less chaos.
In choosing where to shop, many people first look at prices, then location and then the name of the store, with little thought given to the importance of supporting small, local businesses.
These businesses provide advantages to the surrounding community that often go unseen.
Understanding these advantages can encourage customers to support their local merchants.
For one, local businesses provide job opportunities for local residents. That can be in the way of part-time or full-time work. Either way, this can create a domino effect on the community as a whole as it not only boosts local economy but local moral.

Their significance cannot be underestimated, and in Collooney and Ballisodare this is especially true as these local suppliers are at the heart of each community.
