    Didn't they win various awards in the past for their quality meats?

    They did alright, even had some more recent publicity with Charles and Camilla when they were in Donegal Town.

    EWS (Walshes) have won various awards too though, and seem to be doing very well.

    Is it?

    I read in some news article that it had a week's closedown order against it from the health officer.
    Edit: It was from 11 to 18 September, so just a week.

    I do sometimes wonder how so many eating establishments can be sustained in this town, I guess time will tell. A Supermacs next year too, though that'll be further out of town centre.

    Clothes shop next to McCafferty's bar closing down, I believe that Mc Caffertys have bought the building.

    Yeah, I noticed that earlier today - didn't realise the signage was gone. Also there were lads painting in there. The door window had an A4 page saying opening soon under new ownership or something to that effect. Since signage is gone, I'd safely assume it won't be called Caspian

    @Firblog, yeah, that is the talk about town alright, with whoever now owns McCafferty's bought it. There was also rumour that they'd bought the building that houses Sean Graham's too, but wouldn't be too sure about that information.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Cooney's was on the skids. Any time I've been in there the staff have outnumbered the customers.

    Where that discount store was?

    So were they forced out by Homestore and More? Is there really need for 3 home and garden places?
