    What?? How do you know? I talked to the owner last week and they said they were renovating.

    There's a sign in the window saying they're closed and thanks to all our customers, etc

    is it just me or have they messed with the car park in aldi westside since the refurbishment? the spaces seem a LOT tighter than before (and i dont drive a tank and am fairly able to park my car properly but i was struggling to find a space where i could actually open the door wide enough as to get the maxi cosi out, even when the other cars were parked within the lines.)

    never had this before, but saw a good few people attempting to enter spaces and then realising they were too tight :confused:

    its also busier for some reason, meaning that trying to get out of the car park is a royal pain due to that stupidly designed and permitted right hand turn :mad:

    anyhoo. hope they open a store in Knockers soon :P

    Can people please start an Aldi thread for all Aldi related news and information? There was 3 pages of it a while back.

    I don't know anything about this particular situation, but I don't think it's uncommon for people who are closing down to say they are renovating.

    Having to close a business is difficult and fairly public, so some try to soften the blow...

    I was in a shop in the county on its last day of trading. The owner had taken over the shop in the last few years of the tiger era and the bank eventually pulled the plug on the loan. The poor owner was in bits.

    There's a new fish restaurant open on Henry St, next to Mermaid Fishmongers. It's run by the same family and I had a very pleasant meal in there on the weekend.

    The menu's simple; Chowdah, Calamari, Seafood platters etc but it's all done very well. The chips in particular were excellent with my monkfish.

    Just eat in at the moment but I think they're looking at doing takeaway subject to planning.

    Planning to go there soon. It's a charity shop raising funds for Galway Hospice. Well worth supporting!

    Hynes arent reopening they are gone out of business. There is another shop going in there.

    The shoeshop that was previously Hynes in Abbeygate St re-opened a few weeks ago.

    It still says "Hynes" on the window, and the price tags on the shoes inside say "Hynes". It's all new season stock, and I think that the prices and range carried are roughtly the same was they were previously.

    The staff who I've seen inside are new.

    I've spotted the lad who used to manage that outlet outside once - not sure if he's actually working there again, or if it was just co-incidence that he was in the neighbourhood.

    It may say hynes shoes on the door but the company that traded as hynes shoes is in liquidation. Its a different family that are operating the shop there.

    Haven't been up there in a while but that was arabica before it was Mr waffle and i don't think it changed ownership so new franchise probably just wasn't working
