Eagers ‘cash in’ on Killarney’s High Street
W
WITH just a week to go to the big day, Christmas shoppers in Killarney have been assured that there will be no shortage of cash on High Street this festive season.
For too long, locals and visitors alike looking for an ATM in this area have had to trek to the other side of town, but now thanks to Eagers Newsagents they will have one right on their doorstep.
The 24-hour cashpoint was officially opened on this week and is located to the front of the family-owned newsagents and toy shop.
Shop owner Pat Duggan hopes it will prove a winner not only with his own customers but also with those who regularly socialise in High Street’s vibrant restaurants, cafés and bars.
“This is the only cashpoint on High Street and it was very much needed,” said Pat. “People are constantly popping to ask us where the nearest ATM machine is and they are always shocked when they hear it is at the other end of town.”
He added: “For a busy tourist town there just aren’t enough ATMs, particularly on this side of town and there are always big queues, especially at weekends and at busy times like the run-up to Christmas.”
Eagers newsagents has been a feature of life on High Street for generations and Pat hopes the addition of this much-needed service will encourage shoppers to explore more of what the area has to offer. “Hopefully the new cashpoint will make Christmas shopping a little bit easier for people in Killarney, and we know it will be a great resource coming into 2017 as well,” he said.
