Portlaoise Café announces shock closure
The Pantry had operated in Market Square for over a decade
A well established Portlaoise business has announced its shock closure.
In a post on social media, The Pantry Café in Market Square, announced its intention to close after over a decade in business in the town.
“After almost 12 years, The Pantry Café & Walled Garden has closed.
Notwithstanding the many challenges facing small businesses and the hospitality sector in particular, Mark’s unexpected, serious and now ongoing health issues mean that regrettably, we can no longer continue to operate two businesses with only 50% of our husband-and-wife duo at the helm for the foreseeable future.
They added: “Kindly note: Pantry gift vouchers will be honoured in full at our sister business; Nook & Cranny , 44 Main Street, Portlaoise, where we look forward to welcoming familiar faces and new friends alike as we continue to be a small part of the joy and connection that makes our community so special.With heartfelt thanks, Mark & Ladonna.”
