A restaurant in Naas is after announcing  its closure today  in a bid to protect themselves and their  young family from debt. This afternoon, the owners of The Candied Walnut said: "It's with great regret and sadness that we must announce that The Candied Walnut has ceased trading effective immediately." In the statement, 'external factors beyond our control' have been cited, leading to 'this extremely difficult decision.' The statement said:"Despite our ongoing efforts, the business faced increasingly difficult trading conditions this year and coupled with weather events and increasing running costs and overheads, we have been left with no option but to close. We are utterly devastated and heartbroken for all our Candied Walnut staff who have been so supportive and understanding. We have enjoyed sharing our passion with all of you. We have immensely enjoyed getting to know all our loyal customers and earning your friendships. Sadly though the business was just not growing at a pace that was needed to survive. We had to protect ourselves and our young family from further debt."
