New Shops/Businesses in Bray

NobodyImportant

New bakery opening on Albert Walk soon by the looks of it. Its where the chinese take away "sing yeng" used to be.

If i ever won the lotto, i'd buy out that strip and restore it into an old Victorian strip mall. That little walk deserves better than the crap and dereliction thats there and the chinese guys leaving their cigarette butts outside their own bloody shops.

What happened to the Gala on the main st. Is it gone for good?

I was told it was. It just vanished, was in good nick, good staff, no sale sign.

It's not only the Chinese guys leaving their butts there - outside Players is worse. And at least they bring some life to the area and they sell some pretty good stuff in the market.

Other openings - Platform Pizza and the bakery on the Main St.

Went to Mt Everest of Kathmandu there yesterday for the first time. Very nice early bird.

The new bakery is open on Albert Walk, HALF PRICE goods today. I bought a scone and a pastry for €1.30. Just had the scone and it was lovely. Nearly twice the size of some others i've bought before too.

Well, Oli's is gone, heard a Burrito place is opening there? Great, 2 take-aways beside each other. Just what the area needs.

That little bakery has stopped doing their scones, but still have some seriously nice stuff in. Seems to change all the time, got 10 little mini jam filled crossants this morning.

I don't think the Burrito place is just a takeaway. Run by the Oli's people.

The Cinnamon whirls from the bakery are very good.

What's going to happen to the post office in the Cost Cutter shop? I find that really handy

Post office staying open in the interim. Bad news about Costcutters. That building seems to be cursed.

Don't think the post office will be staying open for long. Can't see the unit being taken over as a shop/newsagents again as its too big so the post office may need to be moved elsewhere. Only part of the shop that seemed to make money was the off licence.

They have a website www.3amigos.ie and a Facebook page (3amigosbray), but there's no useful info on either as yet.

It's TexMex really, i.e. Burritos, Chimichanga, Fajitas, Tacos and Salsas.

I could easily scan and post up the flyer, but not sure if that's allowed?

Why did the town council allow more takeaways esp on the main street

Don't think the council get much of a say on who landlords let shops to. Also in my opinion its better than it being idle

A shop or bank requires a change of use to become a takeaway from the planning authorities.

Shame on the local councillors. There's no shortage of fast food on and around Bray Main street.

Local councillors do not decide on planning applications!

I got some fajita there and thought it was pretty gank, but everyone should try it just to see anyway.
