100 years of Hegarty’s on Muckross Road
It all started as a living room ‘ticket in book’ corner store in 1924 founded by Mary Hegarty, mother of Donal (Dodo) Hegarty at Larrys Cross, Muckross, in the house in which Dodo was born and reared.
Developed into a filling station and ancillary shop in the 1960’s and into 1990’s when Dodo and his family developed the first Spar on Muckross Road.
Dodo passed the reins to his children, Majella, Liam, Donal and Adrian, the third Generation Hegarty family to run the business in 2022, instilling the importance of community spirit and neighbourly friendship.
The 4th generation are already working in the store and lined up to step into help running the business to carry forward long into the future 101 years and beyond.
Kerry Football legend Seán O'Shea was on hand to help with the celebrations.
Donal (Dodo) had the pleasure of cutting the ribbon on the newly refurbished shop in the company of his daughter Majella, sons Liam, Donal, Adrian and daughter Majella along with their spouses and children at the weekend.
