Sweet shop goes pure Cork with ‘Langer bar’

The owners of an old-style sweet shop have upped the bar for loyalty to their home county of Cork — by naming their latest bar after one of its best known words: “langer”.

Frank Nixon and Kate Walsh, owners of the Half-Door Sweet Company on Maylor St in Cork City, put the distinctive product on sale last Saturday and have been blown away by the popularity it has attracted already.

“We called the bar the Langer for two reasons,” said Mr Nixon.
