New Look Kanturk Store

We are delighted with our newly refurbished store in Kanturk. It looks amazing, call in for a look if you are in town. We have changed the orientation of the shop and added lots of new refrigerated space in a bright new interior. We’ve managed to keep some traditional features and add some lovely new ones like the storyboard on the back wall showing the history of McCarthys since we first opened five generations ago in 1892.

On the Shelves in Aldi

Aldi approached us earlier this year seeking to source the best black and white pudding in Ireland for their shelves for a special promotion in June. We were happy to oblige. Making sure that our recipe, high standards and quality ingredients were preserved, we developed new supermarket friendly packaging for our puddings.

The promotion was so successful that we are going to be back on the shelves in Aldi’s 135 stores in Ireland from November to January.
