It's open, opened yesterday. Looks good and should do well. They do duck too, first time I've ever seen that in a chipper.

Interesting. Should do well on match day as well as having a large local catchment area.

Not sure if its still accessible from the main bar though. Even though should still do well. Nearest other chipper is the Happy Eater across from the bus Station.

Seems like the takeaway business is booming, so many opening up. Doubt they will be anything like Nandos though.

Oh I know it looks nothing like Nandos, but due to its popularity, they might be going for that market.

Wagamamas in Sligo......
Droooool.
I would never eat anywhere else ever again, ever. Chilli Chicken Ramen.
Im ashamed to admit I have actually travelled to Dublin solely to eat both there and Nandos. Dundrum is way nicer than the town centre options in both respects. 'tis expensive tho.

New childrens playcentre and coffee shop opening in Grange on 12/12/12.

It's called Foodstore and more. Heard an advert on Ocean for it.

A sister store to Homestore and more?

Must pop in and check it out during the week.

I wouldn't think it's anything to do with them. Also I presume you need a trade card as it's a cash and carry...might be wrong though.

I don't see mention of "The Snug" bar/pub having reopened in the Stephen Street carpark, behind Reidy's Restaurant. near The Garavogue and infront of the the pedestrian footbridge.

Have had a few nights in here over the last few months and its a really great place. Busy during the Sligo Live festival with some great bands. Infact they've had a few great bands in since, particularly Willie Kelly's bluegrass style band which puts on a great show.

Recommended! A+++

They have a trad session every Sunday from 7. Really nice, friendly pub.

There is a new charity shop open in the Wine Street carpark. Some of the suits from the menswear shop are for sale in there for €30.

See some sort of Kids play centre is opening down in Grange where the furniture place was beside the petrol station

Does anyone know when Gullivers restaurant is re-opening, I've seen them fitting stuff in at the Bistro, and they're talking about vouchers etc for Xmas but can't see any sign of it being open? Thanks!

Opening tomorrow. It's also an actual portugese woman running the place. Couldn't say the same for any Nando's I've been in.
We can all judge tomorrow anyway when it's open.

Noticed the hoardings down on the unit beside the old Keohouns (spelling) book shop on Castle Street. Seemed to be a fit out going on.

Seen rumours on one of the other thread that it was a temporary location for Penneys whilst their store is refitted.

Any confirmation, or is it for a new shop.

FoxyVixen

Pennys would hardly be able to fit much stock in there would they?!

its dealz

Oops read it wrong. Thought they were referring to Keohanes old shop.

Hi there,

Just to let people know that Crean Ceramic City (of Castlebar and Charlestown) have opened in the old Gilroy Tiles store on Ballast Quay. We offer an extensive range of ceramic and porcelain tiles, fire places, stoves, sanitary ware, shower doors and trays, shower systems, bathroom accessories, mirrors for bathrooms and living rooms and wall art...

I work in sales in the store if I can help please feel free to pm me...

I see The Food Centre (Abbey Foods) are moving to a bigger space in Cleveragh (beside Expert Electrical). They have a sign over there saying opening March 2013. I like this place, it's like a cash n carry open to everybody.
