Limerick Businesses Opening

Mc Love

Just saw on twitter, there is a new pub after opening beside Aubars called Paddy Frawleys.

Passed by Aubars two days ago and although it looked like work was being carried out, it just looked like it was part of Aubars. Strange strategy if it is though.

Yes, it does seem strange. It looked lovely this evening though! An old "traditional" look to the interior. It looks like an addition to Aubars, as it's in the area to the left of the main door.

Just been told there is big plans afoot to transform Aubars in the coming months.

I presume you mean cheap in quality cause certainly not in price.

Don't now if this is up but the Chinese on Davis Street is no more and is now like another kebab place.

Macron/Limerick FC plan to have their shop opening this weekend on Patricks St (Arthurs Quay, next to dry cleaners) Plan is to open it for a few months and see how it goes.

May be limited stock for another week or so but should have all the new Macron gear in soon.

Hopefully they'll at least have jersies for the opening or it will just put people off early. Personally I'd prefer if they didn't open till they had full or very good stock at least. First impressions and that.

Maybe yer man in Castlepark is getting them.

Considering Leonard Motors had the Renault marque taken from them quite a while ago for being, amongst other things, a crap dealer.

Castlepark has Peugeot so why not give him the other French marque. Frankly Motorzone has enough on their plate with all their marques.

Wouldn't blame Leonards Motors , Renaults are generally a crap car and if he has given back or lost the dealership, he is the lucky one !:D

Speaking of Renault, I passed Castlepark tonight and the showroom is beginning to take shape. Almost finished but missing the cars still.

The cars have been out the front most days whilst they are working inside.

Its gonna take a lot more than having to wait for new gear to put your average Limerick fan off anything in fairness, (not dealing with the bandwagon jumping event junkies here ) as they have the unit cleaned, painted, carpeted and already with some stock why not open it and get it up and running.

Official opening wont happen untill the new gear is in afaik, but they may have opened today.

Is it inside of Arthurs Quay or outside on the street where Ambassador Cleaners, the Penny Arcade etc... are?

The dealership wasn't taken off Leonards, Renault decided to act the maggot and make ridiculous demands in the current economic climate, so Leonard's told them where to go.

On a positive note, Leonard's Motors will be re-launching with the Mazda brand in the coming weeks, retaining their existing staff.

Are they going to try to rip people off like they tried under the Renault Umbrella.

I had a 2004 Laguna, my father a 2004 Megane and my friend had a 2004 Scenic. All were recalled. Something to do with spark plugs I think. Leonards wanted my father and friend to pay 50% of the labour and the other 50% would come from Renault.

Mine was done in Galway for FREE as it was a recall(after all). Leonards were then going to claim back the 100% labour from Renault(like they are entitled to) and cream a little profit from the unsuspecting customers.

Some cheek. I always found the tall lanky lad in service to be very rude. Also let them pay for their parking outside the front of the dealership as well. That is for public parking, not for parking their own cars out there. I remember seeing a car, in the process, of being blocked in bumper to bumper by the staff one morning because, I assume, somebody had the cheek to park their car in a public parking space.

/Rant over.

A long while back I'm lead to be believe, surprising as he still has the Mazda logo displayed. Not surprising the took it away in all fairness, the showroom looks like a glorified greenhouse.

But I guess it was Renault acting the maggot :rolleyes: mate of mine bought a new megane in 2010 and his brake lights went faulty and Renault in Ennis wouldn't fix it at the time because where he bought the car didn't fit a Renault approved part to do with a tow bar.

He's gone a good while, guy with grey hair and glasses has been doing that job for the last couple of years. Agree about the parking outside their garage though.
