Supermac’s Family Road Trip

At Supermac’s, we are passionate about our great tasting fresh Irish food, our farmers and suppliers. They give us the best so we can serve you the best. Our suppliers have become friends of Pat and Una’s over the years. They are keen to share stories of their produce and products and we are proud that over 500 suppliers and thousands of farm families throughout the country play a key role in delivering delicious produce to us every day.

A lot of our suppliers have been part of the Supermac’s family for over 40 years so Pat and Una decided to visit some of them to see how they were doing. But there is a twist – Pat and Una decided to bring the grandkids along! The Supermac’s family road trip tells the story of the closeness of our relationships with those people that supply us. It is the story of family businesses the length and breadth of the country. It is the story of communities, employment, sponsorship and friendships. We are at the heart of Irish communities nationwide and the importance of this connection to local communities stems from the fact that many of these businesses started out by supplying us.

We will meet suppliers like Tom and Karen Kearney and Denis O Driscoll of Spice O’ Life in Dunmanway, Co Cork as well as Andy Mahon of Bandon Vale Cheese. Pat and Una will visit Michael Kelleher, a beef farmer from Co Kildare as well as Johnny Curley of Curley’s Fruit and Veg and the family take a trip to Lakeland Dairies, who supply all our ice cream. We visit Loughnane’s in Galway, who supply us with pork, Emer Kelly and her family who are dairy farmers in Co Westmeath and dairy farmer Caitriona McHugh. Enda Burke is a dairy farmer in Co Westmeath and his son plays on the local hurling team that is sponsored by Supermac’s and we also visit Rangeland in Co Monaghan.

Supermac’s has deep roots in all our communities. We are regularly the organisers and venues for fun runs, vintage rallies, charity fundraisers and numerous other community events throughout the country. We sponsor over 300 teams and over 50 charities nationwide, along with numerous community initiatives throughout Ireland. We are proud partners of Trócaire for many years, helping children and families in developing countries. Supermac’s has contributed over €500,000 to the charity.

At Supermac’s we’re proud to be Irish and proud to support Irish communities. Success is the people and family behind you and we’re proud to be #partoftheSupermacsfamily
