Limerick Businesses Opening

12 is better than none, and those 12 will have a knock on affect. And I doubt they count delivery drivers who have another stop on their route.

The Snipe

Polish Store opened a few days ago by peoples park, in the green building by the flats.

Without doubt it's great and an Easons might attract similar tenants to the Parkway.

Anyone know what's going into the old Nestors/Sequoia Lane unit on O'Connell Street?

Looks interesting. Will give it a try. Thanks as I missed the article in LL.

Eason's in Parkway that's a good news story. Hope it leads to a revival. Used to like it but so many places closed.

Mr E

Easons in the Parkway is opening tomorrow (19th). Should give that shopping center a nice shot in the arm. The old newsagent (now a budget book shop) may be on its last legs, I fear...

Was in the Parkway shopping centre last Saturday afternoon at around 4.00pm. The place was a ghost town for what I would consider a peak time for shopping. I wish Eason the best of luck, I think they'll need it there.

That's the problem with these type of jobs, just replacing other ones. When a Tesco moves in, a few small shops will be moving out!

Mr E

Went in there at lunchtime -- Easons was very busy, and the car park was more full than usual. Good floor space too (3-4 units I think) - it's not a small shop.

Going to pop in later on. It's great that Easons have the balls to go in there when so many have left in recent times. Hopefully this will help to bring in other stores to the area.

Id imagine this will effect the footfall with easons in town as Id go to the parkway instead of town to buy a book now.

Mr E

With 3 floors, Easons in town still has a much bigger selection.

very true but the convenience of going to Easons in the parkway outweights going to town and I'm sure if they don't have a book they could order it from the shop in town for you.

Planning permission for a new butchers to go into the old Ryan's menswear unit on William Street.

This was already posted in the Golf forum but no harm having it here either.

It seems the golf club in Limerick which was formerly known as Limerick County G&CC is opening up again under the name of just Ballyneety GC. There is a meeting regarding this in the South Court on Monday 30th July at 8pm. I presume this is to gauge interest.

If anyone knows someone with an interest in golf, it might be worthwhile to mention it to them.

Mad ^^^

I passed this yesterday for the first time in about a year and the course was full of people playing. I assumed it must have only closed for a few months or so.

It certainly is mad cause I'd say they were playing on a cut meadow. Course has been closed since last February 12 months as far as I'm aware.

Just noticed the old O'Connell Grill has a "Let by" sign on it. Anyone hear anything ?

Well I looked at it tonight and can confirm that nobody played anything remotely like golf. There are no greens, no fairways and plenty of rough. It will take a major effort and a lot of time to produce anything like a golf course. I am interested in hearing what proposals are being put forward and the amount of interest that is generated by them.

Some people may have hit balls from one patch of ground that has been left full of huge tractor ruts to another patch where silage has been cut but there is no fine fairway grass on the course and the greens are full of thistle and ragwort at the moment.

I see according to the Leader Nandos are looking to open in the city by 2014 at the latest.

Are there many business opening that don't involve stuffing your face or drinking coffee? Like maybe looking for some cool clothes or something? It's a disaster for men in Limerick.... absolute disaster....

That is good news. Maybe some foodies might look down on them, but I think they're fun. I used to go there every couple of months when I lived in England.

Dude - grilled chicken, chips and beer versus clothes shopping? I know what I'd prefer in Limerick!
