Abbey Street is one of Bangor’s most pleasant gateways. A leafy, tree-lined stretch with shops on one side and parkland on the other, it’s the kind of street many towns would love to have. Yet it’s often overlooked in the conversation about Bangor’s retail offer.
So let’s shine a light on the fantastic range of businesses that make Abbey Street a genuine hidden gem.
Start with your home. When it’s time for a lift, McCracken Flooring can transform your rooms with a completely fresh look. Once those floors are down, you might find yourself tempted to upgrade the appliances. RJ Electrics has you fully covered, from microwaves to fridge-freezers, washing machines, kettles and toasters. They also offer a great range of TVs and specialist audio equipment.
Flooring sorted, appliances sorted, entertainment sorted… that’s usually when the thoughts turn to the little ones. Crumpton’s is a joyful treasure-trove dedicated to sparking imagination and creating happy memories.
And while you’re thinking practically, pop into Irvine’s Butchery for locally sourced, farm-fresh meats raised with care and respect. Once the new fridge-freezer is full, you’re well on your way to a refreshed home life.
But Abbey Street keeps giving. Abbey Pharmacy offers much more than essential healthcare items, with a surprising range of optical equipment including telescopes, binoculars and magnifiers. When the time comes to plan your big day, Jenny Lindop Bridalwear is right there to help you shape the occasion. And just a few doors away, the brilliantly named A Cake For All Seasons can create bespoke cakes for weddings or any celebration imaginable.
And of course, there's Knoxy’s PC’s offering everything from quick computer fixes to major upgrades and full custom-built gaming rigs. Whether you need a repair, more power, or a system designed from scratch, they’ll look after you from start to finish.
There’s also the incredibly helpful CreateAbility NI, offering equipment designed to make everyday living that bit easier.
And still, Abbey Street’s range continues: solicitors, financial advisors, dentists, laundrette services, pet care, a property letting agency and an impressive mix of international eateries, sit-in and carry-out.
Abbey Street is proof that Bangor does have shops, good shops, useful shops, specialist shops and all tucked into one green, welcoming stretch.
So take a stroll, support local and…
Get the Abbey Habit. 🌿
