    So the 'Businesses closing' thread is starting to get a bit depressing, with all the doo and gloom of recession, and places closing as a result, so its always good to see a place opening, or reopening. So lets start off.

    Might have been open a month now, but only discovered it yesterday, dispite driving past it several times, Teds Bike Shop, beside Docherty Tiles on the Killybegs Rd outside Donegal Town, and the reopening of Timonys Spar in Donegal Town, following a refit of the ajoining former Abra's and Hairdressers.

    Anyone else, post em here.

    I consulted with the local fortune teller who predicted that this would be a short thread :pac:

    we should keep scores

    number of closures v number of openings

    Although the bookies fave is closures being a Liverpool fan i'll cheer on the underdogs!

    Seems there is a new Kebab place across from the Theater. Used to be the Thai restaurant. Haven't tried it, just noticed it today.

    Spent many a late night, and a good few afternoons there around the early to mid 00's, including the night Liverpool won the Champions League, and an odd birthday. Was one of my favourite pubs in the town. Glad to see it back.

    yep cuba renovated moved into quinlans old shop and edge is a new shop where it was

    dunno if mjs becoming eoin dohertys is worth a mention, he seems to have done a bit of renovating at least to the smoking area (not been in there either, too set with my local!)

    the new community centre by the church is almost finished too and the few renovations to the bosco are also being done. (shame they didnt get the grant for the planned extension)

    Aye, they're selling household items, underwear, bedding, etc. and I believe there's some gift stuff near the front for the buses of tourists... as yet, I've not been in, just what I was told by someone who was.

    A new barbers shop had opened in Donegal Town, in where Super Valu is. Not sure that the town really needs it, but it's a young local lad so all the best to him

    Molly's bar in Dunfanaghy has re-opened, although completely revamped and modern.

    Not a patch on the old layout!

    That's the place, there have been a few eateries there over the last couple of years. It seems to be a popular location with businesses but less so with customers. I hope this one is a success, I love Thai food.
