Fiveways Newry makes £22m in last set of accounts

Not bad for a man who started out with a wee shop to what he has now. Absolute goldmine of a shop and a license to print money. Good luck to him, even if he is an Armagh man.

22m of a turn over is quite a difference to 'making' 22m. Still very impressive though.

A fair whack of it comes from me! Hard to pass this shop,even when you don't need anything,competitively priced range of goods,and a thriving off licence.A real success story,though you can die of starvation waiting on your order in the Diner sometimes!

Also responsible for bringing Billy Joe Padden to Armagh

Absolutely not. Most profit is down to the local trade due to the accessibility and offers they have. The place never stops.

Great to see. Best of luck to him always good to see a local business thrive

That shop was once owned by my uncle. He also had a mobile version which traveled around the two counties.

Still see Colm Meehan in stacking the shelves.

Colm played for Lissummon many years ago?

FD profits are nearly as big as Fiveways t/o. No big deal. Two great stories. Onwards and upwards.
