'We have to thank the community because without their support, we wouldn't be here'
The McCartan family has seen all the major changes in their hometown of Downpatrick - having first opened business in 1926.
He added: "McCartan Shoes opened around 1926 with my grandfather. My father then went into the business and now he is retired a few years. He is 90 and still going strong. "Our customer base is lovely and we get people of all ages in the shoe shop. Although there is online shopping, people still want to come in, try the product on and have a bit of craic with you.
"The craic is the aim of the game, that is what it's all about. You will never be stuck for conversation and people love coming in for the craic, even if they aren't buying anything, they may have bought something previously, but they will always pop in. Up against the world of internet, McCartans pride themselves on a warm welcome, for any customer that passes through their doors - and almost 100 years on, customers are still choosing them.
