Finn McCool’s on Main Street in Newark has reportedly closed its doors.

Employees reported they were informed of the move via an Instagram post. 

A post from McCool’s on the social media site carried a “Sorry We’re Closed graphic. The restaurant-bar’s Facebook site is no longer online and no one answered the phone on Wednesday.

The name change came after Catherine Rooney’s sold the business. Catherine’s retained its location in the Trolley Square area of Wilmington.

Main Street restaurants have been facing their challenges, due to roadwork. Such projects typically lead to double-digit declines in business. Competition is also fierce with plenty of restaurant options on Main Street.
