One of Donegal Town’s staple institutions is to shut – at least for the time being.
The doors of Dom’s Pier 1 will close after its current operator, Martin Cleary, decided not to renew the lease on the business due to rising costs.
However, there will still be an opportunity for any willing entrepreneurs to take on the lease on the premises in the future.
Martin made the announcement via social media yesterday.
“After five incredible years, I have made the difficult decision not to renew the lease for Dom’s Pier 1,” he said.
“Rising costs of goods, utilities, and other expenses have made the future of the business untenable, and while this is not a decision I made lightly, I believe it is the right one at this time.”
“I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our wonderful customers who have supported us over the years. Your loyalty, laughter, and good company have made Dom’s Pier 1 a truly special place. It has been an absolute pleasure serving you.”
“To my hardworking staff, I am grateful for your dedication and the warm hospitality you have shown every day. This journey would not have been possible without you.”
“While this chapter is coming to an end, I will always appreciate the memories and friendships made along the way. Thank you again for being part of the Dom’s Pier 1 family.”
“I would also like to wish whoever takes over the lease every success in the future. I hope they enjoy the same great support from the community that I have been fortunate to experience.”
“For any enquiries, please contact us via email only at pier1doms@gmail.com.”
