An overnight fire has caused significant damage at the headquarters of Cherrymore Kitchens and Bedrooms in Donegal town, one of Ireland’s leading suppliers of kitchens to trade and retail markets.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Cherrymore Kitchens and Bedrooms said no personnel were on-site at the time, and they added that the premises will remain closed while the extent of the damage is assessed.<\/p>\n
Several units of the fire service fought to extinguish the blaze in Ardlenagh, on the outskirts of the north west town, after 12am.<\/p>\n
The family-owned business said they wished to extend their “sincere thanks to the emergency services for their swift response”.<\/p>\n
“We also want to voice our immense gratitude to our neighbour Shane and all the team at Donegal Waste for their incredible support during this incident.<\/p>\n
“Thank you to our wider community for your ongoing patience as we work through this. We will keep you updated on our progress,” they said.<\/p>\n
Local road diversions that were in place overnight on the R267 were lifted this morning.<\/p>\n
The family-run business is a significant employer in the region with showrooms in Castlebar, Co Mayo and Oranmore, Co Galway, alongside Donegal town.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Ballybofey and Stranorlar Chamber of Commerce said its thoughts are with the family-owned business.<\/p>\n
They said it was especially devastating, as this year marked Cherrymore Kitchens and Bedrooms’ 30th anniversary, and it employs many people.<\/p>\n
The chamber described the facility as “one of the most advanced and modern factories in the whole of Ireland”.<\/p>\n
“We as a chamber will do our utmost to help in any way we can,” it concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An overnight fire has caused significant damage at the headquarters of Cherrymore Kitchens and Bedrooms in Donegal town,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-463438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
