The store has been run for over 40 years by Jack, who first started out in a small hut in the late 1970s.
In Leixlip, a long-standing local business is preparing to close its doors.
River Forest Newsagents in Captains Hill, one of the area’s original shops, will shut in the coming weeks.
The store has been run for over 40 years by Jack, who first started out in a small hut in the late 1970s.
Since then, it has provided a huge service to the community, becoming a landmark in the area.
The closure is seen as a blow to the local area, where traditional newsagents and family-run shops have been gradually disappearing.
Tuthills also recently closed.
Cllr Bernard Caldwell (FF) said more and more people are shopping online or in bigger supermarkets.
He said consumer habits are shifting online and that he is "sad" to see the loss of another local business.
Kfm understands that the owner Jack is now retired.
