The owners of the Lismore Food Company have announced they will "take a pause" to reflect on the future of the company.
The Lismore Food Company based in the Old Library, Chapel Street makes and sells luxury food and drink collections and hampers.
It is run by Beth-Ann Smith and Owen and Kenneth Madden.
In a post on social media this week, they wrote: "With the changing landscape, we have decided to take a pause while we reflect on the best future direction for The Lismore Food Company."
In the post, they thanked their customers for their support: "Thank you - we are truly beyond grateful to you all. You have all supported us so brilliantly throughout the 10 years since the launch of the Lismore Food Company. From buying our products and hampers, to gifting them to your friends, family and colleagues; to your constant appreciative messages."
"It's been an incredible journey, and at every turn you have embraced us, grown and supported us," said Beth-Ann, Kenneth and Owen.
In the same post, Kenneth and Beth-Ann announced they have set up an online art auction house called Lot100.
The new venture will connect buyers and sellers of fine art, prints, multiples, photography, sculptures and collectibles through online auctions throughout the world.
They said the first auction will go live in the next few weeks.
