WELCOME to The Daily Click, where we put the spotlight on businesses in County Clare with an online shop.
The Clare Echo is asking local people to get behind Clare businesses, and to think local before visiting international shopping websites. Today, we showcase businesses operating out of the vibrant seaside village of Lahinch. Known for its surf and golfing, there’s a world of shopping in Lahinch that you didn’t know about. Go ahead, give them a click and support local.
This series is part of The Clare Echo’s #clickforclare initiative, supported by Local Enterprise Office Clare.
