Bridal shop owners shut second store

THE owners of a bridal shop, shut down because of money troubles leaving scores of brides-to-be without their wedding gowns, yesterday confirmed a second store has closed.

A spokesman for The Wedding Dress on Penrose Wharf, Cork, said a shop in Kenmare, Co Kerry, has also shut its doors.

He said the reason was “the same situation” as with Penrose Wharf - financial difficulties. He said the Kenmare shop, which opened just before Christmas, did not have many orders to fill.
