the big big pet shop

feelpablo

lads and lassies,

I called down to the big big pet shop on the killybegs rd this week to get food for my bearded dragon and the owners informed me that they are closing down !!!

sad to see another buisness in donegal town closing down and both Derek and Bernard were very helpful with any questions you would have.

so they are having a closing down sale until the end of the month with 20-50% off all stock so if you know any one with any form of pet do the right thing and send them down to the lads.

didnt even know it was there, obviously done a great job promoting it.
sorry to see another business go though

yeah it was in Kelly cleanings shop.

They had just been an internet buisness for a few years and decided to open a small store in the family shop so people could come in and buy products in person but the lads were saying that the site has stopped moving items as well http://www.thebigbigpetshop.ie/.

Sorry to see them go.

Same as that i never even heard of them. In any case, business closures are out of control in Donegal Town lately and its very sad indeed.

and yet the council will stand there with the hand out looking for rates, so will the esb and the insurance companies, and the revenue inspector, and the estate agents looking for rent... and the banks have closed their doors to SMEs since last year... the only place left open in town will be the courthouse and Lidl

That's a shame.

Their location wasn't very good though. Still, they did have a nice big tank of piranhas the last time I was there! :eek:

Donegal town swirls further and further down towards the plughole.

So sad to see another business gone in the town Im gone from Donegal for over twenty years but still love going home and can't believe how the town has deteriorated. The number of empty premises on the Diamond alone is frightening. All the shops I remember as a kid are gone Terry Woods Hendersons - what is happening to the old place? Can the rot be stopped ?

ah no thats sad it was a real nice pet shop and very helpfull

Mint Sauce

never knew there was a pet shop there either, thought this thread was to promote a new one or exsisting one

even so, shame to see another place close down

Ave Sodalis

There was another hardware shop between Walsh butchers and Bustards shop up on main street which has closed If memory serves me it was Hendersons too I know the one down beside where Kearneys was is still open! Can someone confirm the hardware shop up on main street was also Hendersons or maybe I have it wrong Its closed anyway ! B

hairyprincess

Ah theres so many closures lately its desperate. Who would believe the Tanaiste lives down the road!

Deer Hunter DL
