Big news from Gunnison Street. 🍀
After 69 years of "come in and we'll see what we have," Gaelic Imports (and Cupán Tae next door) finally has a website — gaelicimportschicago.com — and it goes live tomorrow, Thursday 15th October at 12pm.
What that means for you:
☕ Order ahead from the shop or the café and skip the queue — pick a time, walk in, and it's ready.
🎁 Gift cards, now available online, for the in-law who "doesn't want anything" and everyone else on your list.
📦 And if you're not local — hang tight, because nationwide shipping lands Friday 16th October for our shelf-stable goods: tea, biscuits, sweets, pantry staples and more, straight to your door anywhere in the lower 48. (Fresh, chilled and frozen items — sausages, rashers, soda bread, café food — are pickup-only for now; we're working on shipping those too, in a few weeks.)
The website is brand new, so bear with us while we get the hang of it — and if you spot anything odd or have a pointer for us, we'd love to hear it.
Everything's still packed by hand, the kettle's still on six days a week, and the fire's still lit next door. We've just made it easier to get to.
See you online tomorrow — or better yet, in person, where the tea's strong enough to trot a mouse across. 🫖
gaelicimportschicago.com — live from 12pm, 15th October.
