In the last two years owner Eric Morton has invested significantly in refitting the shop, which has resulted in even further growth of this already very successful business. Located prominently in one of Ireland's premier seaside resorts, Salthill is a booming area and no longer just a summer destination.

Mortons is strategically located on the main access road in and out of Salthill and serves a large catchment area.

The first floor also includes independent living consisting of a spacious 950sq ft three bedroom apartment. There is a large back yard with rear access for deliveries and a number of refrigerated stores.
Above all, Mortons of Galway offers a unique opportunity, due to the owner’s planned retirement, to purchase a very successful and profitable business.
