If your name is McLoughlin, a special opportunity awaits the distant island in Ireland.
The McLoughlin bar, located on the island of Achill, was founded in 1870. The same family runs a 155-year-old pub for four generations, and its current owner, Joseph “Josie” McLoughlin and his partner, Jackie, officially retire. Now they are looking for another McLoughlin to take over.
“I have no one who could leave the pub, and I gave up looking for a buyer outside my family and seeing my name lost in history. It would simply break my heart. The name McLoughlin is woven into the tissue of this pub,” says McLoughlin in a press release made available CNBC.
“The last 50 years have been extremely satisfying for me and I would like to see this story, finding a descendant of McLoughlin to move forward. If I could guarantee that the name McLoughlin would still be over the door of the pub for another 155 years, I would die a happy man.”
Heineken launched billboards in cities with a large number of Irish immigrants.

The bar collaborated with the Heineken beer brand to find another owner. Heineken launched billboards in cities with a large number of Irish immigrants, including New York, Boston, Buenos Aires, Auckland and others to try to find McLoughlin.
Heineken also plans to finance the “Succession Package” to help the new owner start. The package will include investment guidelines, mentoring and business support “in order to ensure that the pub will remain a flowering part of the community.”
Heineken began looking for the next McLoughlin at the beginning of this month without the current end date. To apply for a position, interested parties must complete online form At Pubsucceces.com and wait to get from the beer brand.
The conditions state that McLoughlin, which will be chosen to launch the bar, will be responsible for paying all taxes, insurance, fees and subsidies. They will also have to agree to publicly share their identity and take photos and photographs for advertising and/or promotional purposes.
Heineken also claims that the selected participant will be responsible for his own diligence of the McLoughlin bar and the company's assessment.
