“It was really during the lockdowns that we realised just how strong the sense of community in Greystones is,” says Dan.
“To the point that we feel like we know pretty much everyone who comes through the door,” nods Hugh.

e reckon we might just have stumbled upon Greystones’ best kept secret this afternoon…
It’s a corner shop, Jim, but not quite as we know it.
From hot dinners to hurley sticks, from greeting cards and gorgeous Bray pudding to Frank And Honest takeaway coffee to go with your RTE Guide, from seabass fillets with ginger marinade to smooth craft beers and fancy pants wines, sure, the O’Neill brothers have your every need, whim and twisted desire covered.
Including, of course, the oul’ gas cylinder, the full-to-bursting sambos from the deli counter, the healthy salads to go alongside Murphy’s ice cream, and sure, where else would you be going…?
“It felt like a jump back in time, as people pulled together, and just helped one another…”
“It means we get to hear about what people like, and what they need, and we then try our darndest to go find it for them.”
That the O’Neills have also made a point of putting as many Irish-made and locally-produced goodies on their shelves has has an impact too.
Open from 7am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 9pm on Saturday and Sunday, you can find out for yourself what all the O’Neill brothers fuss is about by swinging down to their groovy Eden Gate HQ. Today.
