McCalls of Lisburn shares the past as it looks to the future after 70 years of service

One of Lisburn’s oldest shops, McCalls, has been celebrating 70 years of serving the local community.

With seven decades of history, the menswear shop has been sharing photographs of previous staff, showing off the dedication and hard work it has taken to thrive in the retail sector.

Under the stewardship of the third generation of the McCall family, siblings Jill and Mark, alongside their cousins, brothers Chris and Alastair, the business remains anchored in its founding principles of superior menswear and outstanding customer service.

The store was first opened in April 1956 by Robert William McCall, a forward-thinking man who embraced change.

When he handed the business down to his sons, Mervyn and Percy, he enjoyed in seeing their developments and hearing their ideas.

Mark McCall, Director of McCalls of Lisburn, commented: “Reaching our 70th anniversary is not just a milestone, it’s a celebration of the loyalty and support of our customers, and the tireless commitment of our dedicated team many of whom are long-standing employees."
