From the moment the doors opened at 10am on Friday, Duiske Glass, Graignamanagh was buzzing with eager customers checking out this year’s bargains at the annual Christmas customer appreciation day.
Despite the torrential rain and wind, loyal customers braved the elements as they helped the store celebrate 44 years in business.
