A family owned business is celebrating the launch of its first pop up ahead of the Christmas period.
Thomas Trendy Socks, which offers customers unique and quirky socks, was set up by the family of Thomas Barry, a sock enthusiast who has Down Syndrome. The business was conceptualised by Thomas’ father Finbar, who wanted his son to have the same opportunities for employment as everyone else.
Finbar is hoping to open branches in other shopping centres if the temporary set up in Tallaght proves a success. The new store is located on the Square’s third floor, opposite Dunnes Stores, and is the company’s first indoor location, having previously operated through stalls in outdoor markets.
