About Us
The Irish Import Shop was founded in 1962. The Store started out as a room in an apartment, which it quickly outgrew, and moved into a storefront very soon. The store operated out of a location on Beverly Blvd and Normandie which at the time was the hub of the Irish community in Los Angeles. The Irish Import Shop has been at it's present location for the past 22 years.

In summer 2007, a second Irish Import Shop was opened on Harney Street in Old Town San Diego.

On March 1, 2008, the owner Anne Colburn will celebrate 6 years of ownership. Come in and wish her well.
