'It was time to say goodbye': Closure of Leitrim clothing store announced
The closure of the Carrick on Shannon based store was announced on Wednesday
Born Clothing has announced the closure of its Carrick on Shannon store as part of a wider company shut down across the country.
The Irish fashion brand is shutting down 15 stores nationwide, leading to the loss of over 100 job.
The company which was started in Galway in 2009 announced on Instagram that it would be closing their stores.
“After 16 wonderful years in business, it was time to say goodbye.”
“We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support over the years – for shopping with us, supporting us, and being part of our journey.
“To our wonderful team thank you for being the heart and soul of our business. Your loyalty and dedication will always be appreciated.”
Along side Carrick on Shannon, the company will close stores located in Galway, Dublin, Cork, Kildare, Laois, Tipperary Westmeath, Leitrim, Mayo and Kerry.
The company also announced it would hold a closing-down sale in stores, with up to 70% off.
The High Court has appointed liquidators to allow trading to continue temporarily with the company having found itself millions in debt and owing 2.2 million to revenue.
The company, which at its height employed over 116 people nationwide, has indicated on its site that gift vouchers cannot be accepted due to liquidation.
