Maddens Shop, Milk Market Lane, Tralee, Co. Kerry,

Description

Large Commercial Block in Prime location
total ground area circa 2700 sq ft.

 

In a prime location - just off the mall, this property is an excellent opportunity to expand into business with one of Tralee's oldest and historical buildings.  The building itself is not preserved but the "J. Madden" signage on the front of the shop is.  
The premises was built by a Mr. John Madden in 1860. It cost, what was at the time a large sum, IRL£100. Mr. Madden, the current owners great grand father ran a cooperage in the back of the shop.  After Mr. Madden's death, the business was passed on to his son, the present owners grandfather, and then on to her father Daniel Madden.  In or around 1957/58 Mr. Daniel Madden's son John Paul and his widow ran a thriving business dealing primarily with the farming community, selling oats, bran, floor for stock, hens and home cooking.  To this day there are records of ration books and  purchase and payments of some of the many customers that passed through the doors over the years.
In 1992 sadly Mr. John Paul Madden passed away. John Paul’s sister and her husband continued to run the business, but as a grocery shop - it was known far and wide and was well visited by visitors and locals alike, the grocery side of the business remained until their oldest customer died and the premises was then converted to an antique shop, which it currently trades as to day. Every child in Tralee and surrounds must have at one time or another sat on the door step of this building - so this is a great opportunity to buy a lovely piece of history.
