The Union Jack shop has been trading for many years now. It first started trading from the band hall of the Protestant Boys East Belfast in Townsley Street. Slowly but surely business picked up as more and more products became available for loyalist shoppers. Due to the expanding range of cloths, band materials and flags etc the shop sought and obtained bigger and better premises on the main Newtownards Road. Again the shop proved to be too small and we moved to our present premises.
