About us
Kevin Mc Allister Electrical has proudly served the people of Drogheda and the surrounding areas for over eight decades, providing high-quality electrical goods and an exceptional after sales service since 1940's.
It all began when Kevin Patrick McAllister Snr. opened the doors to his electrical shop on West Street. Alongside electrical products, the store also offered musical instruments and even a small record section, where customers could buy the latest 78s and later LPs. Locals fondly remember attending dances in the Abbey Ballroom and then stopping into the shop on their way home to purchase the very music they had danced to just hours before.
Today, now in its 85th year of trading at 88 West Street, the McAllister family marks the end of an era. Kevin McAllister Jnr. is retiring after 46 years of dedicated service, continuing the proud tradition his father began all those years ago.
