The owners of Furey’s Diner in Donegal Town have announced they will close permanently on 3rd June.
Inflation and economic uncertainty were the driving forces behind the difficult decision, Mary and Sarah Furey told patrons last night.
Announcing the closure on Facebook, they said: “This was not an easy decision for us, but we have decided to not renew our lease, especially as a small business we had to take into consideration the future, all small business owners in any line of business knows it has become difficult to continue business with the inflation and the uncertainty of what the future will bring.”
Now in business five years, the Fureys expressed gratitude to their loyal customers – locals, regulars, and visitors alike – for their support over the years. Special thanks were also extended to the dedicated staff for their hard work and loyalty, as well as to suppliers who became friendly faces during deliveries.
Furey’s Diner will serve its last meals on the upcoming Bank Holiday Monday, June 3rd.
Customers holding gift vouchers are advised to use them before June 3rd, as they will be valid for both dine-in and takeaway orders. Regular opening hours will continue until the closure date.
“Its an end of an era for Fureys Diner, but when one door closes another one will open, we are looking forward to new beginnings, and a bright future and we wish you all the very best!,” they said.
