Perry's Supermarket in Athy has today announced that it will close it's doors for the final time on Wednesday, December 31.
In a letter posted on it's Facebook page, the family said; "This decision was very difficult to make on so many levels.

"Over the past few months efforts have been made to see if it was possible to sell the business as a going concern to any interested third parties, to help continue and keep the business in the town and help save as many jobs as possible. To date this has not been successful, but we will still endeavour to pursue all possible avenues.
