Yankee Star, Second Edition, sold

The Yankee Star restaurant operated by the Egan family for many decades has been sold to Alex Macari of Kildare, who already has a long-established food business there.

It will be continued as a restaurant under the new ownership.

The property was acquired for a figure understood to be in the region of €1m, and was sold by Dowling Fitzsimons Auctioneers.

Meanwhile, John Egan has bought the Second Edition property next door.
