Update
As unauspiciousally as they arrived, Local Expess closed the doors, packed up their stock, pulled down the shutters and removed the shopfitting on 10 July 2025, just short of two months after opening.
Originally
This small "convenience store", aka vape shop opened without any fanfare, or a spell-check, on 19 May 2025.
It's in St Augustine Street, in Rockfort House, next door to Image hair salon,
with the Augustinian prior on the other side, and across the road from the
Galway City Library. This was previously home to Dr Zhou Acupuncture, who quietly departed form the area earlier in the year. The interior has had a thorough re-fit, and now looks similar to the
Corner Express
in Woodquay
Products are "all the sweetest things" - mainly American-style sweets, no newspapers or (visible) vapes.
