More shops close down...

ErnieBert

The 2 branches of Pulse Accessories were closed down at the weekend. I heard the whole company went into liquidation. They have branched all over the country. The 2 Galway shops were on Shop Street beside the body Shop and in the Corrib Centre beside M&S.

More jobs lost.
More empty retail space.

Funny, they say their quarterly review showed they were down exactly 10% of a black and white bag. All they wanted to do was break even to get them to Christmas.

Im sure if you go down and have a look there will be some contact info.

Ouch!

A lesson learned: if I want the Irish economy to keep going, I must NOT plead poverty in accessories' shops, wholeheartedly embracing the leather goods-obsessed consumerist spender in myself instead!

In the last year on Dominick St a Chemist,a bakery and the Indoor Market have all closed down,2 more are on the brink.I know that street is off the beaten track but rent rates for it are still really high,too high in my opinion.

EMobile is moving into the long vacant Benetton Shop at the entrance to Edward Square and the Perfume Shop (who used to be in Eyre Sq Centre) are moving in to empty shop that was once occupied by Twist Casuals.

If you are looking for jobs, search their sites :

www.emobile.ie

www.theperfumeshop.com

Who give a flying fu€k if there is another mobile phone shop on the main shopping street so long as it provides jobs.

They left a few open to sell off stock, I'd say it won't be open much longer.
