'Serious loss to the town,' popular Tipperary store to close after 73 years' trading
Very popular Halls Daybreak store in Cashel is closed after trading for 73 years as Eamon and Majella Hall retire
A long-standing business on Friar Street in Cashel has ceased trading in recent weeks.
The popular Halls Daybreak store closed after trading for 73 years as the owner retired.
Eamon Hall has operated the store for nearly 40 years – his mother Sheila O'Sullivan began the business in 1951.
On April 2, Cllr Declan Burgess said: "A very special afternoon in Hall's shop on Friar Street. Wishing Eamon, Majella and the family all the happiness and success as they retire from the shop.
"A serious loss to the town of Cashel but I want to sincerely thank them for all their significant contributions to the economic and social development of Cashel.
"73 years of Halls with two generations operating in Friar Street. Remembering Eamon's parents my old neighbours Ned & Sheila today."
Mr Hall says the future of the premises is uncertain for now as the family continues to reside overhead.
The closure involved a tribute to a former employee Noeleen Doyle who gave many years' dedicated service to the store – Ms Doyle died in February 2024.
To mark the closure a specially commissioned once-off wine bottle was created and a customer appreciation day was held.
The next generation of the Hall family, three daughters, all have careers outside of the family retail business.
