    Is the company going out of business?

    No (not yet anyway), they're just closing 3 unprofitable branches.

    Carlow, Fonthill and Castlebar are closing.

    The Homebase appointed examiner has asked for an extra few months to turn Homebase around and make it a viable company.

    The judge granted the extension application yesterday.

    But the 3 Homebase branches still have to close....they cant be saved.

    Anybody know what is the actual closing date for the three stores? Might take a trip to one of them and dont want to leave it too late.

    Read on the nationalist that it's closing on 12th October.told my mom on Tuesday and she went Wednesday. She said half the shop has been emptied out by shoppers. My sister in law went today ( Friday ) she said the shop was almost emptied !
    I dunno how they'll last until October if they won't be getting more stocks in ?

    That ties in with the examiner getting an extension during court legal proceedings the other day.;)

    True but Carlow cant support two diy shops that size, and yes unfortunately Woodies need competition to keep there prices in check, but sure Doyles offer good prices and service as well as other good independent hardware shops around.

    Agreed. I've gotten most of the stuff out of my house from Doyles, their prices are also quite high but there can be bargains to be found during sales and what not. One less shop isn't great for the consumers. Just look at what happened when 4Home closed down... Building left totally unattended and people have less and less places to shop around

    I totally agree, but if Carlow could not support two big Diy shops, with 4Home was three, and i agree its a terrible waste of building, and looks terrible, but like were Homebase was and Dunnes lots of units were never filled.They might one day have to be knocked down, and lots more around the country!
