The old McDonald's, Naas Town Centre
McDonald’s in Naas town closed in April, though the impending closure was reported in the Leader some time before.
The restaurant was opened in 1998 in the premises which housed Malone’s famous cake shop and tea rooms.
When McDonalds Restaurants of Ireland confirmed the closure, it ended speculation and the decision deprived residents of a popular eating and meeting venue.
At the time of the closure the remaining emplpoyees were offered jobs at the McDonald’s in Monread Road or at the restaurant in Newbridge.
Owner/operator Sean Quirke thanked staff and customers “who have shown great loyalty over the past two decades.”
