The former Jean Depot store in Wexford.
Jean Depot was a relatively short-lived store that was situated at 2 South Main Street in Wexford.
It opened in 2014. Judging by its social media profiles, it closed two years later, in 2016. According to Solo Check, the company was officially dissolved in December 2018.
Prior to Jean Depot, this building was the location of an O’Neill’s newsagents shop that had a restaurant/cafe on the second floor. The shop also had a space dedicated to fancy dress costumes.
Sadly, the owner of O’Neill’s Sweetstores, Bobby O’Neill, ran into serious difficulties during the financial crisis of 2008-2011. As a result, creditors seized many of his properties.
Following the closure of Jean Depot, the building became the home of a women and men’s fashion store called Selected.

These days, the store is occupied by a toy, accessories, and gift shop called Flying Tiger Copenhagen.
