Ah yes indeed - you can sell fuel cheaper if you can get rid of pesky costs like people! Isn't automation great all the same?

Mrs OBumble

Old Malte laundrry / laundrette is closed.

Sign on the door said that business ceased on 21-Jan-17, and has contact details.

Looks like the new Iceland store will be opening in the old Lidl unit in Doughiska in May according to this article about Iceland expanding in Ireland.

Anyone know if Cooke's Thatch Bar on Newcastle road is open(ing) again?
Seems to have been closed for ages and ages.

In all honesty, the fact that 24 hour pay at the pump stations are still a fancy new concept here is embarrassing.

While looking for plans for the bike share scheme on the Galway City planning map I noticed this unit was granted conditional permission for a sandwich bar last week.

Mrs OBumble

Mishnóc leather goods have opened in the unit in the pro cathedral building which used to be a clothes shop.

I guess that means they've moved out of Mainguard St.

It’s expected that a planning application will be submitted in the coming months for the new student accommodation.

We shall see.

who have a track record of providing high-quality purpose-built student accommodation.

According to the blurb on their site I'm sure.

I don't wish to derail the thread, but do you know if there's any indication if/when the bike scheme will be extended to Salthill? The fact that the original docking stations were all so close together was idiotic. This has been underlined by the low take-up of the scheme to date.

They applied the same model and system in other cities around the globe and it's worked out successfully in all of them. Have some patience It just takes time

Hearts of Galway jewellers on Williamsgate St , shopfront is ripped out. No sign up, but i knowthat Garavans got permission to turn the unit into a specialist whiskey retail shop.

Decobake cake decorating and cafe on Eglington st is closed. Sign on the window has contact details for them.

Taste cafe in Born on Newtonsmith is closed for renovations. Sign doesn't say if its reopening as Taste or something else.

Thanks for the advice. My question, though, was about whether there are any plans to extend it to Salthill.

There's a thread dedicated to the bike scheme here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056440058. You might get more responses if you post there. I'm surprised the mods didn't move your post to that thread.

Is that down by the escalators? I noticed a die-cast models shop in there the other day surrounded by empty units behind sub city, it must be the lowest footfall part of the whole centre.

Laviski

upstairs where hickey's is defo has the worst footfall.

Yes. ABC have closed that shop but a sign in the window says school books are still available from their Tuam Rd shop.

The unit now has signabe up for a different book company. Books... something (can't remember the name).
