Antiques @ SOLAS
The launch of ‘Irish Timeless Treasures’ as an in-store stall within SOLAS has been a great success with strong sales over its first weekend first weekend. David Maher of SOLAS explains “Brian and his team have really put together a fantastic collection of items and the customers have really responded. It is great to see how a Saturday market stall has now become a 7-days a week feature here.” This is the 3rd independent ‘in-store’ shop which has a permanent feature of SOLAS – including ‘Refillz’ range of packaging free products, and ‘Moo-Cow’ range of fresh Milk and shakes in reusable glass bottles. Maher continues “really what we are trying to create here is a virtuous platform for local businesses to come together and create something very special and worth visiting – as ever a case of ‘Build it and they will come’.”
