    Not strictly a new business but the Thomas St. centre has been sold. I assume the new owners intend to open something in the near future.

    Something is going into the Benetton shop on Sarsfield Street. Saw clothes in there and the graphics were being peeled off the buildling.

    That's the newer buildling not the older one on the corner.

    Are you sure that wasn't Bentleys?

    100% positive. The sign read 'the brazen head open for lunch.'

    I even commented on the waffle thread about it.

    The Design Atlier on Catherine Street is moving there after the Thomas St. Centre was sold.

    Wingnut will be opening a section inside Moviedrome on Henry street.

    They are a music store that only sells Irish bands on independent labels and have outlets in Galway and Waterford.

    They will be very good for local Limerick acts as well as other Irish acts. Their Galway store is great for Irish acts and really pushes local Galway acts, with the Waterford store doing a similar job for Waterford bands.

    Plus it will mean that those who like to buy physical formats will be able to get local band's music more easily than before, and the local bands will have a store they can approach to sell their stuff..


    Best of luck to Ray and Paul with the latest Wingnut expansion.

    I saw guys inside the old Centra/Londis/Spar(?) on Corbally Road this morning.

    Anybody know if something's opening there?

    My brain is wrecked trying to think of the name that it always had irrespective of what was written above the door. The name it had up to the late 80's I think.

    Anyway, if anybody does open it then good luck to them because it is going to be difficult if it is a shop with a Supervalu and a Tesco nearby. You cannot simply live off the pickings of the St Munchins Lunch time brigade which is what the shop on the lower Mill Road appears to be doing.

    I agree. It's closer than Supervalu/Tesco to me so I'd walk up for a litre of milk and such, wouldn't do a weekly shop in a Londis/Spar though.

    I think you're thinking of the bar, O'Driscoll's above the door, everyone called it Daego's.

    Three units in the Parkway are being knocked together at the moment, to make way for Easons, hopefully that will help that dying centre.

    Think it was called Stan's, hopefully it will be a success, but not sure if will re-open as a mini-market/convenience store, too much competition in the area, lack of parking etc.

    It would be good if Easons move in, they tend to be long term tenants as opposed to the pop-up shops which have become the norm recently

    There's a new cafe that looks very nice on Henry St - Petit Paris. Has anyone been? What kind of food do they do?

    Also is that a new bookshop (R Dineen) opposite Elverys? Or have I just been blind for the past 18 months :o:o

    R Dineen's has been lying vacant since like 2005? Everything intact inside!

    There was black plastic covering the window but I think it fell down and that's why it may look more noticeable.

    Yes, I've been — very nice. Various types of food: crêpes, steak, full Irish breakfast, pastries. Very small and cramped place, but nicely fitted out, and very clean.

    Sounds like a crazy decision to open an Easons in the Parkway

    Don't think so, there use to be a paper shop up there and it did quite well, plus will get the back to school draw as where can you get the school books outside the city centre? There is only that little bookshop in the Crescent.

    Years ago there used to be a newsagent's down next to Dunnes, close to where the €2 shop is. That closed down not long after Dunnes Stores started selling books/newspapers and magazines. Then a few years later a newsagents opened up over near the EBS bank, that unit closed about 2 years ago. A book shop opened up there too and is now gone. Is there enough footfall in the Parkway SC for Eason? I don't think there is, the place is a ghost town at the best of times. Time will tell though.
