Staff at an Iceland store in Coolock in Co Dublin have agreed to end a sit-in protest at the premises.
They had occupied the supermarket after being informed that they are being temporarily laid off because the store is closing.
The workers had said they would maintain the sit-in until they received guarantees that they would be paid all monies owed to them.
Yesterday, the High Court appointed an interim examiner to Metron Stores, which operates 26 Iceland stores in the Republic of Ireland and employs more than 344 people.
In an email to staff from Metron, workers were told that following a review the Coolock store was being closed from midnight last night.
"Please be advised that at this time, it is with regret that we wish to inform you that your employment will be affected by the store closure and you will be temporarily laid off," the email stated.
"The company intends to engage with the court appointed examiner and every effort will be made to attempt to re-open the store," it added.
"This process will involve discussions with a number of parties, including the landlord for the premises," the email to staff said.
Staff arrived at the store this morning to find it closed with some claiming they only received the email from management later in the day.
Chartered accountant and insolvency expert, Joseph Walsh, has been appointed as interim examiner and earlier today he said they were working to resolve matters as quickly as possible.
Twenty two of the 26 Iceland stores in Ireland opened as normal today.
Yesterday, the High Court heard that Metron Stores Limited is insolvent and unable to pay estimated debts of €36m as they fall due.
The firm has got into difficulties due to factors including a recent order served on it by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland requiring it to withdraw all imported frozen food of animal origin from its stores.
However, an independent Experts Report (IER) has stated that the company has a reasonable prospect of survival if certain steps, including the appointment of an examiner, are taken.
Petitioning the court for Mr Walsh's appointment, Ross Gorman Bl for the company, which specialises in selling frozen foods and groceries, said that it had decided to seek the protection of the courts due to issues, including last week's decision by the FSAI decision to serve a notice on it.
That notice required the company to withdraw and recall all imported frozen foods of animal origin from all its stores brought into Ireland since 3 March.
Counsel said that the FSAI's move was a precautionary step caused by several alleged breaches of food legislation.
The matter will return before the courts in two weeks' time.
