Spiddal, shopping, and scones

Thu, Mar 12, 2020

There are few things that go better together than shopping and cake, and even fewer places that do it so cosily as Standún in Spiddal. As a famous tourist destination for almost 75 years, it is a store steeped in tradition, even though there is nothing old-fashioned about it. It is probably best known for its selection of Aran sweaters, and has an impressive selection of Irish and international fashion labels and giftware too.

Founded in 1946 by May and Mairtin Standún, it has been thriving ever since. The initially tiny shop was originally an all purpose store selling everything from groceries to cement, bedding and bicycles, footwear and furniture — there was even an ice-cream parlour and petrol pumps. Famously known as the home of the Aran sweater, it has become a firm favorite for both tourists and locals. In 1972 May and Mairtin’s son, Donal, took the reins. Now it is run by Cliona and Laragh Standún, the third generation.
