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]
