SOME 25 people have lost their jobs following the shock closure of the Eurospar at Watch House Cross this morning.
The Ballynantybeg Post Office, which operated from the Watch House Cross Shopping Centre, has also temporarily closed. Those in receipt of Department of Social Protection payments have been advised to go to Caherdavin Post Office for collection from 3pm this afternoon.
A sign displayed on the window of the Eurospar supermarket this morning read: “Due to the very challenging trading environment, it is with regret that we announce that Eurospar Watch House Cross has ceased trading with immediate effect.
“On behalf of the management and staff, we would like to thank you sincerely for all your support and loyalty over the years. Your custom has been very much valued and appreciated.”
