Long established Kilkenny business to close in next few weeks
Rossiter Shoe Repairs and Pedorthics will close after 38 years of service
It's almost the end of an era for one long running and established business in Kilkenny City with its impending closure.
Rossiter Shoe Repairs and Pedorthics, based on the Butterslip, has been in operation locally for 38 years but owner Michael Rossiter has confirmed 2025 will be its last in store before moving online.
"Whilst I often spoke of retirement, it was always off there in the far distant future," Mr Rossiter said.
"Now it is nearly here, I can tell you I will miss the day-to-day craic and banter, your kindness, your concern and especially your thank you treats.
"I might even miss performing miracles for some and the customer who says 'I don’t have my ticket, but…'
"I have 'picked a day that suits me. This shop will close and I will hang up my apron and cease saving soles on Saturday, November 29 2025," he continued.
The store will continue supplying orthotics following the closure of the physical store with the retail shop available at rossitershoecare.com
