Doolittles

Doolittles was an Irish sandwich making company, headquartered in Laghey, County Donegal.[1] Originally operating as a coffee shop selling its own products, the company later manufactured prepacked sandwiches for sale in retail outlets. Founded in 2001, at its peak it was the "third-largest pre-packed sandwich producer in Ireland [..] employing 32 people".[2] It closed in 2009.[2]

History

In 2001, Jenni Timony opened Doolittles in the "New Row" area of Donegal. The company began to manufacture sandwiches for retail outlets and expanded throughout Ireland.[3] In 2006 the company won the Ulster Bank Invoice Finance/ Irish Independent Business Achievers Award.[4]

Aer Arann served Doolittles sandwiches as part of its buy on board programme.[5]

The company was liquidated in 2009, with many unpaid creditors.[2]
