THIRTY staff at a Ballyshannon supermarket have been left devastated after it closed up for the last time last night.
Full-time and part-time staff were called to a meeting on the premises of Frederick Ormston’s Mace at 7.30pm and told the business would not re-open on Tuesday.
The family has been trading in the town since 1961.
“Some of us were in tears afterwards,” said one member of staff.
“I’ve been crying all evening and I don’t think it has even sunk in yet.”
Another member of staff said: “This came as a complete shock. There was no hint whatsoever that this was going to happen.
“We’ve got children and mortgages and I don’t know what we’re all going to do.”
Most of the staff in the Main Street premises are from the area.
