I'm not from Clonmel but haven't being near the cinema in a while. Is the extension started yet?

Theres rumours/chatter of this supposed expansion for years now and not even the slightest bit of work has been done so I imagine its in the back burner if not dead in the water.

Change of use of Carl Scarpa premises is a different company. Good to see something going in there. Subway going into Applegreen Dungarvan road. I think they should keep parnell street store open as well. No reason why both stores wouldn't do well

Apache Pizza in Hot Shots Bowling Alley changed to We Knead Pizza.

I see the travellers have moved in beside the Questum Acceleration Centre, used to be a grand place for walking the dogs, NOT NOW!!!!

Tell us a bit more about this -

Are you talking road deaths? Like in top ten or something? Where are you drawing your statistics from?

I think the official stance is, it's on hold due to budgetary constraints from IMC. If it'll ever get going is anyone's guess.

Showgrounds have posted on their Facebook page that they are going to announce another new tenant next week. Any one know who it might be? Thanks

I see a “Sale Agreed” sign on Slievenamon Golf club. Anyone any idea of who bought it and if it’s to continue as a golf club?

I heard a while back a butcher was looking down there.

Thanks for replying. Dealz & Pep&Co already announced. Heard something about a butchers. Hopefully a new sports store would be great. Thanks

I hope this goes ahead. It’d be a great attraction for the town. http://tippfm.com/news/movement-bulmers-visitor-centre-clonmel/

Yes, It has been sold. There was a post on their FB page. It is to continue as a golf club and if I remember right the new owners are going to develop the course too.

Very little can be done differently with the course. Not enough space - it’s borderline pathetic

Would love to see the restaurant open again. It was a great place for Sunday lunch and for parties.

Wasn't their rumors in the past that John Whelan's bought the rights(or something similar) to a butchers outlet in the center?

Dunnes own the Whelan's brand with a view to rebranding their meat counters to the Whelan's brand. So I'd say any stand alone stores are unlikely.

I'd say the sports store and the takeaway outside must be on people's radar as it wouldn't take much to get them up and running.

So is Whelan's no longer an independently owned business?

The guy that ran the restaurant there now runs the restaurant at Raheen House (and has been for a good while I believe). It’s top class there

I know that. Raheen is good, but getting a bit dated in both decor and menu.

True

We used to often go for Sunday Lunch at Slievenamon when he was there. Pity really the restaurant just faded off

Nope. Dunnes bought them a couple of years ago as part of their effort to link up with prestige brands (e.g Paul Costello and Padraic Harrington)

The Dunnes in the Childers Road in Limerick also has their Deli/Butchers under a brand called Baxter & Greene Market Deli.

Then why are they marketed as a family business?

All in all

That’s correct.

Be great when it opens.

Think it's part of a few tourism initiatives for the town.
