Jack Doyle's is temporarily closing its doors to allow demolition and redevelopment of the London Road Shopping Centre to continue.
Co-Owner Sue Baert says it was originally hoped that they could continue operation but were notified that adjacent demolition would significantly interfere with restaurant operation.
She says no reopen date has been set.

Baert says employees were made aware of the immediate closure Sunday morning.
She says construction is great for the shopping centre in the long run, and it will be business as usual at Jack Doyle's once the doors reopen.
