Pettit's in Granard closes for the last time
It was a bitter sweet occasion on Saturday evening as the community of Granard came together to wish John Joe Pettit well as he closed up his shop on the main street for the final time. The family grocery has been in the Pettit family and trading in Granard town for over 300 years.
Reporter Sean McMahon was in conversation with John Joe on Saturday evening as he prepared to shut up shop.
