^^^^^^^^^^^^

i say a few workers were secretly looking forward to the redundancy

The Yellow Lemon on Denmark Street(I think?) has closed. Citing a decline in daytime footfall as the reason. I am surprised to hear them citing "declining daytime footfall", when all the evidence points to the contrary. From what I can see, Limerick seems busier than it has in years, and the opening of numerous cafes in recent times suggests that is the case. Maybe it is the increased competition, in the form of these new cafes, that has led to the demise of The Yellow Lemon

Everytime I passed it, it was very busy, so I'd say something else is at play

With the increasing number of eateries in the city, competition is at a premium. People have so much choice now so standards have gone up significantly.

Probably moving to the new garage on the ballysimon road (eastway business park)

Cool, thanks.

I'd like to think that's a pretty good spot there (where they used to be) for something like a restaurant to go in.

I think you're right, that was a Cafe Noir. Part of UL now though, the catering crowd that serve UL - Aramark - opened in there.

Has anyone seen the article in the limerick leader about "Nellys" just around the corner from the Locke Bar? Place is closed they are having a sleep in, something to do with the new landlord

leakyboots

Very strange one, tenants saying they were 2.5 years into the 5 yr lease and the (new) landlord reneged. Claims electricity has been cut.

Landlord quoted as saying claims made by the couple “outlandish", haven't any issue with the lease, didn't cut off electricity and ”we're not a charity".

Can't figure out what's going on there at all

As in the money that's owed to them for rent?

I read the article but it's all very vague.

Both just pointing the fingers at each other but no one explaining exactly what's actually going on.

JamesBond2010

I think the vulture company just want them out. So they can make more money out of it. With someone else.Just put up the rent. Vulture company telling a load of lies anyway just to look good.
