Businesses/Shops opening in Cork city/suburbs.

Nicetrustedcup

Was in the city yesterday evening was great to see a bit of buzz around again and not doom and gloom that we have all been dealing with the past few months,

Went to penny’s I was quite lucky and was in the store in less then 10 mins,

Myself I find there clothes no worse then what you pay 3 times the price for in topman
,

We might be in a time where shops are going to be closeing down however if we have a few extra pound we need to try and support what we have in the city !!!!

Loading Bays
No parking during the hours indicated on the street sign.

Exceptions: Vehicles with a commercial tax disc can park in a loading bay for a maximum of 30 minutes. Must be actively loading and/or unloading




traffic wardens rarely ticket private cars in loading bays. It's nothing to do with anyone agreeing or not.

Ive often seen wardens ticket private cars in loading bays been a problem for years,father used to have same problem 40 years ago!!

I got one 2 days ago - chatted to apple care, they ran remote diagnostics, and decided we need to send the phone over, sent a link for payment and a packet was on the way. Arrived 2 days later, the courier guy said that he can come back to collect it next day (I hadn't backed up the phone so couldn't give it back straight away). Sent it off, battery replaced and phone back in 3 days after sending it on - so total of 6 days

Thanks I rang them and they said they don’t do replacement for IPad. They gave me a number so I think I’ve to arrange something with apple.

Good. They're loading bays, not parking spaces.

No, I was in a few days this week and the lights weren’t even on, they weren’t even preparing the place for opening.
Have heard a number of reasons as to why, apparently they’re waiting on stock deliveries but someone else told me that the store may not be reopening at all.

Hope it isn’t true, I love their shoes.
Ok thanks. Sorry one more, what about Vera Moda?

As of Friday it was closed, the lights were off and they weren’t preparing for reopening.
I’ll be heading in again tomorrow, I’ll let you know if there’s any progress on it.

That's a shame! Very handy location for me! At least there's O'Reilly's on Barrack Street, although I don't find their chips great.

O Reillys is alrite not a scratch on the FW though. I knew they were struggling at that location, constantly closing to change things around and try new things. I liked it though recently kind of a posh fast food.

What are these boozy ice cream flouts? Where is this place?

O'Sho is at the bottom of Barrack St, can't comment on the ice-cream treats as I've only had coffee in there.

New Coffee Shop called Green Frog Cafe has opened in the old Coffee Station unit across from the gates of UCC.

The takeaway unit next door, which seems to change every year, is currently being fitted out

Kearys motorworld on the straight road does not appear to have reopened yet.

Gone since late May, one evening it was full of cars & the next evening I passed it was empty.

I saw the following on Todays Echo and i wondered why would a landlord would be anxious to take a tenat to cpurt so quickly, hopefully there is a new tenant lined up :


The High Court has granted two landlords of Debenhams Irish stores permission to bring proceedings against the retailer's Irish arm.

The actions are designed to repudiate the leases of Debenhams stores that had been operated at Henry Street in Dublin and Patrick Street in Cork.

Permission to bring the proceedings were sought by Heritage ICAV, which is the landlord of the Henry Street property and Kilmaloda Ltd is the landlord of the Cork-based premises.

Both firms are linked to the Roche family.

Permission to bring the proceedings was required from the court because the Irish arm of the department store group is in liquidation.

The orders were granted by Ms Justice Niamh Hyland at the High Court on Monday.

Last April Debenhams Retail Ireland Ltd, which had operated 11 stores in the Republic of Ireland and had employed 1500 people directly and indirectly, announced it was closing down and went into liquidation.

Arising out of that a number of landlords of the 11 premises launched proceedings.

Paul Coughlan Bl for the two landlords told the Court that the premises had been leased to the retailer's parent company Debenhams Plc, which went into administration in the UK in April.

The stores were then in turn subleased to the Irish arm Debenhams Retail Ireland Plc.

In both sets of proceedings counsel said that the landlords are seeking declarations that the leases have been terminated.

Counsel said that his clients are also seeking orders in relation to unpaid rent. The quarterly rent for Henry Street was €1.4m per quarter and €814,000 for the Cork-based store.

Counsel said that it is his client's intention to take back control of both premises and make them available for commercial use as soon as possible.

Counsel said that the joint liquidators to the company Kieran Wallace and Andrew O'Leary of KPMG were appointed as joint liquidators of the company, were taking a neutral view to the landlord's applications.

Debenhams decision to close its Irish stores permanently arose out of its UK-based parent's decision to enter administration and cease providing funding to its Irish subsidiary.

The Irish arm said it had been in financial difficulties for some time. It incurred losses of over €40m in the years 2018 and 2019, and was being supported by its UK parent.

The company said that the closure of stores, and projected losses caused by the Covid-19 pandemic left it with no option other than go into liquidation

Good to see - that area is very run down and not a nice sight when you’re entering or leaving the city centre from that direction.

A shame to see it go, but a strange place for it. Parking was impossible.

The McCurtin Street shop was much easier to access, park in that bus lane in the evening collect the food and drive off home.

Here lies the problem, people want to park right in front of where they want to go. The bus lane on MacCurtain st should be a 24 hr bus lane and no parking. The amount times of seen buses stuck in traffic due to asshats parking the bus lane during restricted hours. The city will always be clogged with traffic with attitudes like above.
