Darrers
Darrers Stores was a department store and supermarket brand with outlets in Waterford, Dungarvan, Tramore and Carlow, in Ireland. Operating as a grocers and drapers, Darrers was reputedly one of the first stores to introduce the concept of a free plastic shopping bag. In some parts of Waterford and Carlow, "Darrers Bag" became a synonym for "plastic shopping bag", and retained meme status following the store's closure.
The store in Carlow closed in 2007 having traded on the main street, Tullow Street, for 40 years. It followed the closure of the Waterford store earlier in the 2000s.
