Pat Quinn (businessman)
Pat Quinn (1 July 1935 – 23 November 2009) was an Irish publican, hotelier, music promoter, storyteller,〔 former millionaire and founder of the Quinnsworth supermarket chain, which was Ireland's first supermarket chain.〔 He invented the term "yellow pack". According to ''The Irish Times'', he was "one of the country's best-known business figures in the 1960s and 1970s", "the whizz kid of the Irish grocery business" and "a well-known figure in the Irish-Canadian community" at his death. He worked, honeymooned and eventually settled with his family in Toronto. The ''Toronto Sun'' described him as "County Leitrim's favourite son".
