How it started
History
Joyces 365 was founded in 1951 and had around 230 employees. Pat Joyce was the owner and manager of the supermarket chain.
The late 1970s saw two new developments with "Joyce & Sons Headford Ltd" as a hardware business and "Kevin Joyce" as a drapery business by brother of Patrick Joyce (senior), which opened on 8 December 1978 and closed on 20 May 2023.
In 1982, a second supermarket opened at the site of Walsh's Bakery in Headford.
In 1991, the two were made bigger by buying Monaghan's Stationery Shop nearby to create a filling station in 1992.
On 10 May 1999, Joyce's opened a new shop in Knocknacarra, and in 2005 opened a third shop in Athenry. In June 2008, Joyce's became the supply chain of Nisa in Ireland.
