PITTSTON, LUZERNE CO. (WOLF) — Saturday saw the grand opening of a corner store that’s bringing a taste of the emerald isle to Pittston.
Kennedy’s Irish Corner Store offers a wide selection of imported and locally made Irish goods. Started by an Irish immigrant and an Irish dance instructor, the shop offers everything from clothing, to decorations, to jewelry and even imported Irish snacks. For co-owner Thomas McNulty, it’s been great to be able to bring a slice of his homeland to NEPA.
“I mean, it feels good. You know, a lot of people around here appreciate that stuff, I think. There’s a lot of interest in it. So, we’re glad to see that. And we hope everybody loves the store and the products we got.”
Throughout the day, visitors poured into the newly opened store, browsing the goods, talking with the owners, and enjoying some hot chocolate. They opened on small business Saturday, a national day to celebrate independent businesses during the holidays and there isn’t a better example than Kennedy’s Irish Corner Store.
