This
is a family run business situated at the top of Bridge
St, and was formally known as 'Packies' Newsagency for
many years. Patrick (Packie) H. Doherty senior, father
of the present owner set up business in this shop in 1928.
For many years and indeed recently, it was one of the
leading grocery stores in the town of Carndonagh.
