During the late 1970s saw two new developments with "Joyce & Sons Headford Ltd" as a Hardware and "Kevin Joyce" as a Drapery by brother of Patrick Joyce (senior), in 1978.

In 1982 a second Supermarket opened at the site Walsh's Bakery in Headford.

In 1991 the two were made bigger by buying Monaghan's Stationery Shop nearby for Filling Station in 1992.

On the 10 May 1999, Joyces 365 opened a new shop in Knocknacarra and in 2005 open a third store in Athenry. In June 2008, Joyces 365 became the supply chain of Nisa in Ireland.[3]

In November 2010 Joyces 365 announced that they would be opening a supermarket in the Tuam shopping centre.[4]

In July 2014, Joyces took over a SuperValu Store in Inverin, "Siopa an Phobail", that had been in receivership for more than two years.[5]

In 2017, Joyces took over the Galway based Nestor's Supermarket Group, which had been franchised as SuperValu stores (Centra, in the case of the Doughiska branch), and rebranded all of its stores under its own name. [6]
