Limerick Businesses Closed V 2.0 [Mod note post 1]

If the social media pages are gone then safe to say they are finished, that place changes name / rebrands every couple of years anyways.

Anyone know if limerick sport store is closed? That's where I bought my young lads first set of hurling gear and I bought my first helmet there also, now my daughter is starting camogie this year.....maybe it will be Gleesons

They may not have reopened, they were having a retirement/closing down sale prior to Covid shutdown.

I had a pint in establishment on Monday evening. Albeit a takeaway one in a plastic cup and drank it outside. Was in town early for dinner in the Hamptons so chanced my arm when I was walking past.

Always the same people involved though which is strange. Same family involved in the Red Onion on Hartstonge Street and Funky Donuts.

Not great business people by the looks of it but not willing to give up either!

it was still open yesterday when I passed it.

Pagoda Castletroy closed...for now at least. I think lack of students didn't help. Maybe it'll reopen in September.

Heard Cobblestones Joe is still close for renovation. Should be an ideal set up to appreciate social distancing and serving food.

I passed it the other day and it looks like it's completely gutted. I'd say it'll be a while before they're up and running.

They had a post on Facebook in the last few days with a photo, it has been gutted so they can redesign it with social distance measures in mind.

Spice Vintage on Harvey's Quay isn't reopening, going totally online. The owner is on Live95 talking about how the website is more successful than she could have imagined and it doesn't make sense to reopen the shop. Future of retail in a nutshell

retail is changing, its not going away. Some shops will close and some will open. The problem is when we act like the accelerated nosedive that is taking place in Limerick is somehow normal we are not recognising the problem. Cork and Galway do not have the same level of vacant units that limerick does.

Spice Vintage is a unique shop that would have thrived in any other city.

I would have bought way more stuff in there if they made it a drivethrough

The wife said there were 2 large Careline trucks taking stuff out of Easons yesterday morning. Place looked pretty barren when I drove by at 6pm.

Yep. Looks like it’s cleared out. Everything gone.

Imagine town with no Argos, no Eason, no Debenhams.

Oh that’s a shame - strange there was no media announcement if they have closed. It could be just moving stick while waiting to reopen

I was talking to an Easons employee in another one of their shops during the week and they said the basement flooding was taking longer to fix than first thought but should be back open in a couple of weeks.

ya you would have to let the place properly dry out & prob moving the stock to a storage facility while it is drying so stock wont get damp. building is is easier dry when there is no stock there.

The staff will be the last to find out either way. Can't see it reopening myself.

just googled Easons for the crack & could be august before it opens again.
