    P.B gibbons electrical is now open in the town park center on the Tuam road where Costello and Gibbons used to be before they closed last year. They sell electrical supplies to both the trade and the public.

    The former Gourmet Tart Co on Henry Street is getting a makeover at the moment. Don't know what for though.

    Place was a disaster before Boojum arrived and that's from a once faithful customer.

    Moving from Lower Abbeygate St.


    New beautician type place on the start of Bohermore, between the two hairdressers.


    And another new place being kitted out in Dominic St beside the Bierhaus (where the cycle shop used to be) - sign inside says opening April, not sure exactly what sort, maybe some sort of cafe or takeaway.

    It had a 'closed for renovations reopening Friday' (or something similar) sign up for the last few days, but as you say the place is now gutted and the sign is gone.
    Let's hope the builders didn't take the sign down by mistake and started another rumour.

    All stock removed from Hynes' shoe shop on Abbeygate St. Shop fittings (shelving, till etc) still in place, but all "stuff" tidily removed. No signs up on the window.

    I'm not sure why that matters? bugs me more when a poster hijacks a thread with a totally irrelevant opinion.

    Once again, a request to keep this thread ticking along on topic please

    Interesting one on GBFM

    Applegreen may open on the former site of Hanley motors. There used to be a filling station there years ago (Maxol I think) and they will be completely modernising the site.

    The proposal is to demolish at least some of the existing buildings (it's not clear if this includes the showrooms), construct new shops offices & car wash as well as put in new storage tanks & 4 pumps.

    This has been granted PP, and according to the tribune (not online) is due to open later this year.

    This should open by the end of the year

    There's a new charity shop beside Sweetie Pies on Middle Street. I've never actually heard of the charity concerned nor can I remember the name suffice to say they have a sign on the window that says all donations welcome.

    Revive Cafe (?) I think it was opposite Ti Neachtain has a couple of signs in the window saying:

    "Coming soon: Latin Quarter Bistro & Wine Bar".

    A lot of work going on inside it at the time too.

    Does anyone know how exactly the Townhouse got so dreadfully ruined by the floods yet everywhere else in the area, even next door, opened fairly soon after?

    Not suggesting anything untoward, just curious.

    I posted up recently about the Health & Fitness place in Raven Terrace - the story I was told was that the floor in that place took a worse battering than surrounding businesses and hence it hasn't re-opened.

    Although there's a for lease sign above that door now ...

    They have a bigger footprint to refurbish than most of the surrounding businesses that had to be closed and more in the way of electronics e.g. the coolers & fridges that go along with pubs - which would have been mostly at/around ground level.

    Who knows how much of the flooring had to be rebuilt, it may have been more than just the surface . There's also a good chance that a fair bit of the bit of the electrics/wiring on the ground floor was damaged and would need to be replaced and this would be a bigger job than the neighbouring business that reopened quickly.

    They could also be using it as a chance to do work that otherwise wouldn't get done for a while, as it's one of the quieter times of the year for them.

    You do know that pubs have cellars, right?

    I do yes, having worked in a few. Although never in any where a flooded cellar would wreck this much havoc. And given the state of the place if you look in, it's much more than the cellar that is being repaired.

    Great input though, fair play to you.
