atest press release from the Greystones Town Team, issued on Monday, November 17th 2025…

Retailers, restaurateurs and business owners across Greystones have come together to encourage people to support local this Christmas as part of the annual Shop Local, Love Local campaign.

Local business owners gathered at Greystones DART Station this week for a photocall to launch the initiative, proudly holding the newly designed Shop Local, Love Local signage created by local artist Gavin Beattie.

The campaign will roll out across billboards and social media platforms, inspiring the public to shop, dine, and celebrate locally in the run-up to Christmas. From family-run boutiques and artisan cafés to local pubs and restaurants, Shop Local, Love Local shines a light on the people and businesses that make Greystones unique.

“This time of year is so important for local businesses,” said Paddy Holohan, owner of SuperValu Greystones. “When people choose to shop local, that support stays right here in the community — helping local jobs, local suppliers, and the town we all care about. Every purchase makes a difference.”

Mette O’Connor, owner of AMOC Jewellery, added: “Shopping local keeps the heart of our town alive. It’s about choosing craftsmanship, creativity and connection. When you support a local maker or retailer, you’re helping sustain the character and spirit that make Greystones such a special place.”

The campaign artwork by Gavin Beattie has been refreshed for 2025, bringing a bright, eye-catching design that reflects the warmth and positivity of the town.

The Shop Local, Love Local campaign is an initiative supported by Greystones Town Team and Greystones Municipal District, working alongside local businesses to promote sustainable economic activity, local pride, and community spirit throughout the festive season.
