Subway Portlaoise

blackbird98

What's the story with subway in Portlaoise? Are they gone? Note on the door states that they are closed for a few days because of a fault with their fridge!!!

when I try to phone 8666301, I get the musical tone (disconnected)

That sign was up about a month ago when I stopped by. Before that anyway the shop was becoming run down.
Minerals were runnig out and not been re-ordered for the fountain, the till was broken for a while and never fixed. Their subcard machine was broken (prob as its the till).

I wonder was it struggling for a while. When I want a subway now, I head out to the Midway, and they accept subcards.

Although in Subway all over the country I found standards dropping, especially the steak, seems powdery or rubbery lately. Any one else notice this?

Another Coppers, some extra halting sites and a coloured bridge in a much viewed part of town and I think we're lookin good for Tidy Towns this year!!!

A young guy from dublin who lives in portlaoise has bought the pub and from what i hear he is not well liked in the area so i cant way to see how this plays out he made his money from construction cause he paid no one intresting how they still have money.

That Subway was on its knees for along time.....as was the Pub pity to see business close in the town..Midway Subway was always nicer altough bit of a drive

I didn't find that subway up to much would rather cycle out to midway and not feel so bad about getting a footlong to be honest. It is of course a shame to see places close down in town especially Jims kitchen, they always had a fabulous vegetarian selection in there.

Dunno where you're getting that from, Ive heard its the owners of Coppers who bought the pub licence. Doubt the land has changed hands.

Dead right yeah, he had the lease for the pub. The place belongs to a prominent business man in town.
