Brennan’s Store
 
 
 

 
                                The Brennans came to St. Bride’s in July 1968.  They
                                opened their establishment as soon as they arrived.
                                However, the store was currently running for the previous
                                two years in Paradise.

                                When their store first opened, they sold mostly groceries.
                                As Nora Brennan recalls, business was excellent.  Over the
                                years, they built on to their store in hope to increase their
                                enterprise.  They tried to carry as much as possible so there
                                was a little of everything.  They sold groceries, clothing,
                                footwear, rubber clothes and rubber boats.  These two
                                rubber products were mainly for fishermen. They also
                                had sewing material, quilt material, needles, thread and other
                                products.  Presently, they sell all the same items except
                                for the clothing and footwear.
