“It has been a pleasure and privilege to serve you”
A Dungiven based butchers has announced this week that it is set to close its doors in the next few days.
McKay Family Butcher, which is based on the Main Street of the Co Derry town, took to social media to let its followers know that the business was closing for “circumstances beyond our control”.
The family-run business let their customers know that their shop will close from this Saturday in this statement: “Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be closing our Dungiven shop. Our last day of trading will be this Saturday.
“This is not a decision that has been taken lightly, but one we feel is right for our family. We would like to thank everyone for your support since we opened our doors in 1999! It has been a pleasure and privilege to serve you.”
They went on to thank their staff by saying: “To our staff, past and present, thank you for your efforts and dedication. It is truly appreciated. All vouchers (still in date up to 27/6/26) will be honoured or refunded. Thank you from our family to yours”
The business was established in the town in 1999, and the owners of the butchers shop have now placed the business up for sale.
Saying that the potential new owners have an “excellent opportunity to hit the ground running by taking on a successful butchers shop with huge potential.”
The owners also run a second location in Ballycastle in Co Antrim, which will remain open and unaffected by the Dungiven closure.
Customers of the business reacted to the news in the comments, saying they were “Sad to hear this news” and that the business’s closure was “a big loss to the Dungiven community”.
