The emphasis of this section of our web guide is on shopping destinations and the retail sector in Coalisland, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.

Situated on the banks of the Coalisland Canal, the small town of Coalisland is home to a retail core where long-standing family stores and larger retail outlets offer everything from everyday essentials to specialty items.

At the heart of Coalisland's retail sector is Island Turf Craft, a specialty gift shop and visitor centre that turns locally sourced turf into intricate Celtic-inspired artefacts.

Local directories record 238 enterprises in Coalisland, including menswear boutiques, confectioners, glassware, a coal warehouse, turf and soil suppliers, auto dealerships, grocers, and others.

Data from Cybo indicates that over a fifth of the town's businesses are devoted to shopping and retail, underscoring the sector's role in sustaining commerce for the town's residents and wider Mid Ulster region.

In December, shopfronts along the Square and adjoining streets brim with festive displays, positioning Coalisland as a destination for Christmas stocking fillers, family gifts, and seasonal treats.

To encourage local spending, the Mid Ulster Gift Card is accepted in more than a hundred Coalisland outlets, allowing recipients to choose freely from fashion and food to personal services, reinforcing the town's tight-knit shopping community.

The Mid Ulster Gift Card is a regionally branded pre-paid MasterCard-style card that lets recipients choose how and where to spend within the Mid Ulster District Council area, which includes Coalisland. The goal is to lock spending into the local economy, keeping value in town centres and supporting the region's independent traders.
