A local business has been forced to close due to what it describes as “financial pressures”.
Fika Carrick — a well-known and popular coffee shop — located at The Courtyard, (behind Murtagh’s Bar) Carrick-on-Shannon, closed its doors for the last time on Sunday.
The owners have cited financial pressures, the increased costs of doing business, tourism decreases, alongside the pressures of a maintaining a new business, as the primary reasons for the closure.
“I am so sorry to let you down, I did really try to keep going as long as I could. I loved seeing you all, each very special to me. I will miss you so much,” said the owner, who paid tribute to her staff and customers, in an emotional post on Facebook.
