Jeans Depot was a short-lived store at 2 South Main Street in Wexford. It opened in 2014 and closed two years later, in 2016, based on its social media profiles. The company was officially dissolved in December 2018, according to SoloCheck.
Before Jeans Depot, the building housed an O’Neill’s newsagents with a restaurant or cafe on the second floor and a space for fancy dress costumes. Bobby O’Neill, who owned the O’Neill’s Sweetstores chain, also ran the newsagents. He faced serious financial difficulties during the 2008-2011 financial crisis, and creditors subsequently seized many of his properties. The financial crisis forced the newsagents to close, leaving the building vacant until Jeans Depot opened in 2014.
After Jeans Depot closed, the building became home to Selected, a men’s and women’s fashion store.
Today, the building is occupied by Flying Tiger Copenhagen, a shop selling toys, accessories, and gifts.
