    There's a big sign on the Georges Court place saying they are re-opening under new management. Nothing like that in the City Square place, so I assume it is just one re-opening.

    I would have thought the City Square store would have got more footfall, but I'm guessing the rent must have been somewhat extortionate!

    Looks like they were renovating the place a bit also.

    It's great news, it was a shocker that Waterford was to be left with no O'Briens. It's a great option for lunch in the city centre.

    It's also good to see that business owners still have confidence in the market.

    Wexford guy is a great operator, what about the other units closed/for sale - athy, longford, carlow, kilkenny - the list goes on. Sign of the times, massive competition in the past few years, heard a rumour that alot of franchisees are going to form a breakaway sandwich chain????????/
