'Time for a rest' - Galway corner shop to close after 93 years

‘It is time for a rest’

One of Galway's longest running and best loved stores is closing its doors after 93 years in business.

The family run Ward's store is shutting up shop today with some locals describing it as a "Galway institution" and a “mainstay” of student life.

Three generations of the Ward family have run the business since 1931.

The store, located on University Road, announced its closure this week with a simple notice on the window saying, "it is time for a rest".
