Ya, I was walking past it so asked the guy who was painting it, he said it's the resource centre or the family resource centre going in. He kinda gestured up towards the Town Hall as if they are up there at the moment.

Sorry, it's the Wellness Centre. Got it ar$eways.

New Burger Joint, Flipside, opening soon in old ESB building opposite the Belfry.

isnt it supposed to be something to do with the Brennan brothers, the ones that do 'at your service' on RTE ... or I could be getting things mixed up of course but I think thats what I heard

Gonna be taking up a lot of the ground floor space by looks of things. If has late night opening, 'Best' will have some serious competition.

Edit.

Went by this evening. More of a restrarant, than a chipper at a glance. Entrance on Rockwood Parade, and not Castle Street as I thought earlier.

Does anyone know if Bismillah on Pearse Road is gone?

That would be a pity. He's a lot more friendly than the crowd down the riverbank.

Noticed that was closed on Sunday morning round 11am alright. Hope it's not, would be good to have 2 similar shops in Sligo.

(Always good to have choice so hopefully it's not closed)

Where’s that on the Pearse Road?

He was open at lunchtime today.

Sound skin too, savage value in trays of coconut milk, dried fruits and fresh herbs!!

Great another restaurant *sarcasm*:rolleyes:

I would have thought this would be good for town. A diner beside the cinema you would think it would do well. Its probably one of the things thats missing in town - an affordable hang out spot for young people and couples heading out to cinema etc. Supermacs and McDonalds are based out of town and the 4Lanterns is not exactly the cool hang out spot so the options are limited at the min

So has anyone heard of any stores opening or re-opening in Sligo? :rolleyes:

Has anyone got an update on the new Lidl, why its taking so long? I saw the other day that the support pillars were up. Would have thought it would have been complete by now.

its supposed to be completed by October 2018

Apologies mod, I only mean to write one line answers but get carried away and write a long schpeel. I will try to stick to topic and if I hear of any new stores opening or reopening I will surely post it on here

Several people have posted good and varying points of view and opinions on commercial / retail activity in Sligo which is welcomed. However this is the wrong thread for this.

If anyone wants to start a new thread I'll happily move the previous posts there so as the discussion may continue.

I saw today that the animal health company, Phibro, have put their logo on the side of the disused Elanco factory in Finisklin Business Park. Rumours are that there won't be huge numbers of jobs (at least until they get established) but it's good to see the factory being occupied again.

Well spotted. 150 jobs.

That's maybe the 5th big [for the size of Sligo] jobs announcement in the past 3 or 4 weeks. A great sign, which should help give a boost to other industries in the region.

Just look at house prices, to rent or buy, in Sligo and I'm sure Sligo is becoming very appealing to a lot of people currently located elsewhere.
