What are Hogan's Outfitters

Hogan's Outfitters is the Knockglen Menswear store owned by Eddie Hogan, and it is important to the plot for a number of reasons. His job at the shop brings Sean Walsh into the orbit of Benny and the other characters. The shop becomes a symbol of the modernization that is gradually taking place in Knockglen. Becoming involved in the shop also causes Benny to appreciate her now-deceased father more and forces her to confront unpleasant things like Sean's thievery.
