Only in villages in rural Ireland do shops like this still exist and the spar in Glengarriff is a prime example of this Irish retail phenomenon. So its a spar but it’s never called spar, it’s always o’Sheas, nothing strange there, it does everything your normal spar does but it also does DVD rentals and then there is the Post Office in the back of the shop and that’s where the uniqueness comes from, it’s a multifunctional shop that caters for almost all of your needs! You can get your groceries, your entertainment for an evening including a bottle of wine and at the same time you can post a letter to your great aunt in somewhere or other and all in one shop! Brilliant! I like their little bakery type section in here by the way, they have chocolate doughnuts unlike any i have ever tasted, yummy doughy part with powdered sugar and inside is a runny delicious smooth milk chocolate, so very good and so very bad for you! Definitely something you should try when you go into this shop, ahhhh I need one now just thinking about it!
