JC's is a formerly independent supermarket located in Swords, County Dublin, Ireland. The supermarket was purchased by Dunnes Stores (which operates a supermarket next door) in 2019 from the Savage family. Despite the acquisition by its neighbour, it continues to use the JC's brand.[1]
The supermarket was opened in 1977 by JC Savage, who died in 2010.[1]
Actor Simon Bird was photographed shopping here in January 2015.[2]
Satirist Dave Chambers, member of The Rubberbandits, is known to wear a JC's plastic shopping bag on his head.[3]
The supermarket was a subject of the RTÉ show, Feargal Quinn's Retail Therapy, hosted by the former Superquinn founder.[4]
