Similar to Dollar shops in USA, this place has a lot of cheap items. Currently was full of Halloween stuff, but ot is worth visit for many items. I used to buy kitchen utensils, toothpaste, EU plug adapters, and recently found out that they have vacuum bags for clothes of smaller size, perfect for hand luggage.
On last visit, personnel on tills was so fast and polite, I could not believe. Thumbs up. I thought I will wait for half a hour, but it took only minutes to be served. This was not always the case, but my compliments to employees.

Janosik is probably the smallest Polish shop in Athlone, but very well stocked. Very good selection of herbal teas, juices, non alcoholic Radler, Central European type of bread and many other products.
Huge selection of pickled vegetables (Sauerkraut is my favourite), more different mustards than in Dunnes, Tesco, Aldi and Lidl combined, excellent iced coffee, fresh vegetables, frozen ones, this little shop has it all. Plus various sweets as well.
I don't know any Polish friend who doesn't shop there from time to time, with me probably the rare non Polish customer.
Have one thing in mind - most product have instruction in Polish only, so be sure to have Translate app on your phone which can interpret picture. Or you will be overwhelmed as I often was.

Lasani is like hidden trove full of treasure. Food from 4 continents, though I came for Croatian product. And did they surprise me! So many Croatian products, plus many from Serbia and Bosnia. This is by far best supplied shop in Westmeath if you are looking for food from Southeast Europe.
You can buy cevapcici from Bosnia (including various pies), fish from Croatia, strudels, strukli, Kras i Jadro napolitanke, išlere from Serbia, Ledo ice-creams, smoki, baklava, domacica, bajadere, Franck tea, and so many more.
Plus, Pakistani gentleman who work there is one of friendliest salesperson I met in Ireland, just adding to recommendations to visit this shop.

Typical Polish grocery shop located on high traffic Dublin road. You have few parking slots in front of the shop. Majority of product are from Poland, like daily things as bread, milk, butter. If you don't speak Polish you can be in trouble at the counter, but this I had in many Polish shops, as if they don't expect that there are other nations from Baltic to Adriatic that love similar food. Anyway, just a regular shop with nothing so extra to get 5 stars. Prices are ok. Variety of products also.
