“We’ve always had Irish products on our shelves,” Mr Pearce told the
Irish Independent. “Ireland, right now, is a good route for us to go because it’s fairly reliable.”
The self-titled British Store” previously stocked Irish products including Barry’s tea, Tayto crisps and Odlum’s flour.
But it is now turning to Irish wholesalers for products it would usually get from the UK.
Stonemanor took delivery of 1000 Cadbury’s creme eggs this week and is awaiting a shipment of Dairy Milk chocolate bars from an Irish-based supplier.
And Mr Pearce is sourcing sausages and bacon from Crowe’s Farm in Tipperary, which is shipping the goods by ferry, directly from Rosslare to Dunkirk, to avoid the UK landbridge.
