Long-standing Wexford shoe shop celebrates 50 years in business
Billy Doyle Shoes Ltd, located on the Main Street, have been providing quality service and footwear to the people of Wexford for five decades, progressing and moving with the times and technology as required.
The beginnings of the shop can be traced back to 1975 when Billy and Ita Doyle opened the doors of their first footwear shop in the heart of Enniscorthy to great acclaim.
With a passion for quality, customer care, and community, they laid what has become a trusted and reliable name in Irish footwear in Enniscorthy and further afield.
"From our humble beginnings to where we are today with Kevin at the helm this milestone is a testament to the loyalty of our customers and the dedication of our team,' a member of staff said.
"Whether you walked in for comfort, style, or a perfect fit, Billy Doyles has always been about more than just shoes,' they added.
The shop has become a source of strength in fundraising activities around the town, often selling raffle and draw tickets and lending shoes for charity fashion shows.
The anniversary is also a testament to their resilience as within those 50 years, the business has experienced the Covid-19 Pandemic, the introduction of new technology, and the industry trend of joining social media to advertise their products to a wider audience.
However, they believe that their loyal customers have played a big part in their continuing success.
"Thanks so much to all our customers for your loyalty throughout the years. Without you, we wouldn't be here. Here's to the future,' they said.
