The Easter Egg Hut returns to Dundalk

The Easter Egg Hut in Clanbrassil Street

The Easter Egg Hut is back in Dundalk having reopened in the last few days.

Originally set up last year by Dundalk IT business student Declan Curran, it proved a huge success in selling a range of eggs and seasonal novelties in the build-up to Easter.

This year it’s back in a new location in the former Declan’s shop on Clanbrassil Street, opposite Byrne’s Chemist, with Declan’s sister Éadaoin McGuinness at the helm.

Éadaoin told Talk of the Town: “We have an even wider selection of eggs to suit every member of the family and gift sets start from just €2.50! We have all sizes of eggs, even giant ones!”

Amongst the brands stocked include a wide variety from Cadbury’s, Kinnerton, Thornton’s and character eggs and sets from the likes of Frozen, Minnie, Mickey, Thomas, Skylanders, Turtles, Minions and lots more!

There are also fantastic baskets for babies and for the special person in your life.

To make Easter affordable, whilst still staying special, The Easter Egg Hut will allow customers to secure items with a deposit and pay off them as they wish.

You can find out more about the shop on its Facebook page or call in yourself to see all it has to offer.

Further blow for Clanbrassil Street as Declan’s prepares to close

Declan’s were well established in the area and last year sponsored Dundalk FC player Richie Towell

Clanbrassil Street has suffered yet another retail blow with the news that Declan’s Shop is set to close on New Year’s Eve.

A closing down sale was launched at the store at 55 Clanbrassil Street at the weekend as staff broke the news of the impending closure on Facebook.

Declan’s was run by Katrina Curran and has been established in Clanbrassil Street since 1992.

Writing on Facebook, Katrina said: “Sad news today. While we did our best to weather the storm of these bad economic times, we are not able to any more. The supermarkets will be happy as we will no longer be a thorn in their sides.”

The closure of Declan’s comes just weeks after another long-term tenant on the street, Coleman’s Butchers, opted to relocate to the Castletown Road.
