I was driving past yesterday and think this place is open. Anyone heard any reports about it?

yep, Shake Dog is the name of the new 'Eddie Rockets Style' place where x-travision used to be next to the cinema.

Oh yeah there was wasnt there. I had heard where Pepper Alley was but there in front of Lidl would make more sense.

They're popular. People eat out a lot, there's a demand there. What's wrong with restaurants keeping people spending money within the town?

Plenty of buisness for it in Finisklin with people who work in the area daily. Not to mention the school.

Was driving past the old pepper alley last night and it looked like there was some work going on .. loads of chairs outside .. not sure if they were putting them in or taking them in .. so you would be right.

There’s work going on in a unit in the Pearse Plaza complex on the MCR side. It’s just on the corner beside St Brigid’s at the traffic lights. I wonder what’s it going to be?

Apparently it's going to be an Italian restaurant.

none of us would know that question unless it was built and up and running I suppose.

If it was just a 9 screen cinema maybe not. If they incorporated a Ten Pin Bowling alley, amusement arcade, kids ball pond/play park or something along those lines then maybe...

Without trying to take the thread further off topic Andy, you only have to visit the exsisting one in town to give you that answer.

As for play parks etc etc. There already is a skate park near by the proposed location, along with plenty of areas for kids and young teens to play across the road.

An opening of a new cinema down there, would close down the exsisting one, and possibly have a knock on effect on Shake Dog, The Swag, and visa versa.

oh good, because its really hard to get a coffee when you need one in Sligo

- joking aside, i hope (as I hope with any business who sets up these days) that they make a go of it

Just heard on the radio there it looks like the Sligo Credit Union will not be opening up in its new premises (the Clarence Hotel) until Jan 2020 at the earliest ....

I heard a while back there was talk of it going in the abandoned yard across from Lidi not sure if there was any truth behind it thou

johnire

Don’t know if they really need another store. They would need to keep the existing one but they seriously need to do something about their car park-it’s way too small.
