Stores Closing in Sligo mod warning post #720

Andy From Sligo wrote: »

yes you really can see the changes evolving now with the quayside - was in there Sunday last, they have gone the extra mile with the Christmas dec's this year. nice touch that walkway with the twigs and the fairy lights and the sort of Christmas market by the toilets - could be indeed exciting times ahead for that shopping centre if as you say the new owners are passionate about it

I hate that walkway! Wouldn't want to be any taller, would fear taking my eye out on a stray twig.

I searched the Commercial Lease register and found 20,000 pa.

Where are you seeing the 75k?

The first 18 months in unit 9 were rent-free, from 01.02.2015 to 31.07.2016

Service charge is 17,540.80

Rates are 11,345.40

Facebook is wild with accusations that it was a rental rate issue for them moving.

Quite frankly, anytime I was in there it was dead. I can't imagine their ATV (average transaction value) being particularly high per customer which says alot. They let staff go last year due to how quiet it was too.

Tiger just doesn't have a market here. Eurogiants and Dealz has the chunk of it. I'd wager Mr. Price might even suffer in the long run unless it has a similiar rental agreement as Mothercare.

I'm interested at what the new company has done so fair with Quayside. All positive from what I can see.

Meanwhile up at the Carraroe Retail Park on the Dublin Road:

Unit 6

Average annual rent: €100,000.00 :eek:

Not sure about Unit 6 but Unit 7 has it's rates listed at €54,740 for 2018. So that's €154,740 before you even open the doors.

That's insane. It's so sad to see Sligo Town at the moment. So many empty units and no sign of anything new happenning. Even the retail park is half empty now.

100k pa means nearly 2k per week.

If it was Homebase, maybe that's justified??

Is there any details of this Quayside takeover, their plans? Quick Google search gives nothing.

Homebase seem to be unit 7?

Smyths are unit 6.

These are big spaces.

Exactly, it was a pretty shop and sad to see it go but i was surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Quayside is in big bother now. That's a very big unit to fill

Hopefully they remain in Sligo in another unit,Carraroe maybe?

I was hoping the same but the way the article is written it seems as if the staff were told its closing so not much hope of another location.

Carraroe - are you joking - sure you can only sell a particular thing there or there's war. Sure Homestore + More had to clear out their kitchen section because they handnt planning to sell that stuff. Could you imaging trying to get a clothes shop in there.

I wonder are rents too high in Quayside?

may be wrong but i thought i read/heard somewhere they were there rent free for a while

should be able to get to rest of quayside now without walking through Next shop which was always silly i thought

bloody ridiculous plan, stifling what shops can and cannot go up there - sure even Homebase sell kitchen stuff up there - are they breaking the rules too?

Whoever designed that place must have been half cut at the time - the layout is an absolute train wreck!

That will really harm the few units on the Quay Street entrance, they will loss on the passing trade of people passing through Next. People will only go in that side unless they are now going to one of them shops.

Do agree with the last poster, it is a horribly laid out centre.

theres not many that are left on the Quay Street entrance ... I think 2 left out of those units. The yum yum cafe has gone from there too I think
