    Yep, Shapla has closed (was told by one of the staff). The pizza Place was supposed to be a goer but i think there was an objection put it, im not 100% sure on that one though.

    Tis a shame cause donegal needs whatever employement it can get but ya cant blame proprieters with the price of rent in some of the units in town!!!!

    I heard that the owner of the subway store is also closing his ballybofey store,

    on a side note i travel through donegal town most friday nights and usually pick up a take away, a few weeks ago i was traveling through and fancied a chinese, stopped at the shamrock and ordered whenit came to paying i only had sterling, i asked if they took sterling and the young lad said they did but would not allow me on it.
    I could have went to the bank link and withdrawn euros, but i just told him to keep the food,
    I went up to the other one (cant remember the name) ordered the same food and again asked if they took sterling, again yes but no allowance.
    the bill was €18 so they wanted me to pay £18, i put it on my debit card and it came out at £15.37.

    my point is businesses are not doing anything to help themselves, go into strabane and you will see €=£ signs all over, all the businesses on the border give at least 10c on sterling purchases.
    ROI prices are already high enough without penalising people for having sterling.


    my 2c

    Aye, but the all-day temptation would be there! :)

    Anyway, seems Ed has confirmed its demise. :( Anyone know if the one in Letterkenny is still open?

    Was in the town (Donegal Town) for the first day in about a month today, noticed subway was closed, signs down, windows covered over, the lot.

    When did this happen, anytime i was ever in it aways seemed to be popular, always had to wait a little while to be served, service was good, etc.

    Shame as it was always a good opition if you wanted something quick.

    Anywhere else closing, Donegal Town or otherwise.

    I was home in November and they were open then.

    The mother get's prescriptions from there and seem to like the Chemist, he's young and friendly and appears to be concerned about his customers.

    I heard it discussed that the businesses that will be less likely to be affected by the 'downturn' are the ones that either own their premises, or aren't franchises.

    Subway is a franchise. When you have the extra expense of having to fork out solely for a name, it would make you want to close up and go it alone under your own name.

    You wont see the roadside fruit and veg people going under

    a taximan was telling me the subways in letterkenny are both closed today with notices on the doors saying stocktaking, must be a change of ownership, would suck if we lost two subways in one day :o

    Heard from a friend that theyve closed down both stores in the town..they'll probably be back eventually but for now theyre gone indefinitely.

    Strange as the one on the main street in particular was always busy
