AFTER many wonderful years, McAuliffe’s Craft Shop will close their doors permanently this Autumn.
Located in the heart of Dunfanghy, the family-run business, which spans three generations, took to social media earlier this week to make the announcement.
A spokesperson said: “Anne is retiring after over forty fulfilling years at McAuliffe’s, while Conor is moving on to pursue new opportunities outside of the shop.
“We put significant thought and effort into finding a way for the business to continue in some capacity; however, despite our best efforts, this was not achievable.”
The staff at McAuliffe’s Craft Shop expressed their deepest gratitude to their loyal customers and supportive suppliers.
“You all made this journey truly special, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
“Thank you for the wonderful memories and your unwavering support of our family’s business through the decades.
“It’s safe to say that after starting so young, Anne is more than ready for her retirement!”
