EXCLUSIVE: The future of one of Donegal’s best-known hotels is safe after it was purchased by a local businessman.
Jackson’s Hotel, which is currently being run by a receiver, has been bought by popular local businessman Tommy Gallen.
Mr Gallen, who already owns the popular Villa Rose Hotel and Spa in the Twin Towns, completed the deal yesterday.
Up until January, 2015, Jackson’s was owned and operated by another popular local couple, Barry and Margaret Jackson.
The hotel, which was opened in 1945, has been operating successfully under the receiver appointed by Bank of Ireland.
But the purchase of the hotel by Mr Gallen has now secured its future in local hands.
Locals in the Twin Towns are delighted with the news as Mr Gallen is a hugely-respected businessman who is involved in the running of the Villa Rose.
Mr Gallen could not be reached for a comment at this time.
