Yeah, not to be spreading any rumours about what their intentions are but the staff that I know weren’t told anything about it being a temporary closure, albeit for 5 months.

Instructed to close the door at 7:30pm yesterday for a staff meeting and told sorry that’s it.

Seriously?! Same trick again so.

They were around Finisklin about two weeks ago pushing Xmas parties. Wonder if they took deposits..

No business has ever really established itself and done well in that building.
Shame to see it gone, I liked it. if it wasn't able to keep the doors open over christmas period it really must not be doing well.

Andy From Sligo · 13-11-2018 11:53pm

what could you say was their biggest competitor down there eatery/restaurant wise?

Take your pick.. Shells / The Venue / The Strand.

I enjoyed their food if I'm being honest.. better than Strand and less pretentious than Shells, no can't compete with The Venue.

Shame to see regardless!

Yes that's true. As an occasional customer, the construction/layout of the building itself never seemed to work. Something about it was uncomfortable. If it were me, I'd knock it down and rebuild it.

Shame to see it closed.

Wonder if the sign above the door "We Don't do ordinary" will go down as a serious own goal as I couldn't count the amount of people who have said to me they wouldn't go there as they just wanted something ordinary.
Also it called itself a gastropub and while that might attract a clientele in a major city I'm not sure if it was something that would attract the hordes this side of the Shannon

I think it would do a good trade in Sligo town itself but there's tough competition in Strandhill.

I thought the food there was lovely anytime I went.

The holy mechandise shop across the cathedral is closing thanks to the internet https://www.oceanfm.ie/2018/11/30/veritas-shop-in-sligo-town-to-close/

sligojoek · 30-11-2018 5:24pm

I was working near that shop for a few weeks lately. I don't think I ever saw anybody going in there.

Ah pity! I was only in it a few weeks ago and my Mam bought some books and a light in there. Lovely ladies who worked there.

It's such a stupid name for a shop but still a shame to see another place closing in Sligo.

Its only a shop I have been in once or twice, other than buying an Xmas Crib, have had no other reason to go into it, but very sad to see some actually celebrating the closure of their stores. What ever people think of the catholic church here in Ireland, we are still a catholic country, and still have a good percentage who practise and celebrate it.

Worry not, it's all elverys anyway. They'll probably put in the golf shop or something in there. Hard to have sympathy when its all part of a bigger company.

Sympathy is for the staff if they are not taken back into the main store. Also, it is not good for the town nor consumers when another shop closes.

El Weirdo · 17-12-2018 1:19pm

It was also the only place in town where you could get decent trainers. The selection everywhere else is rubbish.

This lot should open an adult toy shop instead and call it 'AIDS'...

Went into video city a few month ago, one half as the internet cafe, with the other half taken up with a rack or two of DVDs, with a very poor selection.

Went by last week, the Phone Repair guy in the front window, had moved into the DVD section. Looks like he is done as a DVD outlet.

Heitons, Castle St have a closing down sale at the moment.

Basq · 07-04-2019 3:59pm

^ They're just rebranding as BrandMax - similar to what happened to their store in Carrick-On-Shannon.

Seen that this morning and I gotta say, their signage is scary looking with the text being melted black and the white background as a rag lol

Indulge restaurant on O'Connell street have papered over the windows and have 'closed permanently' signs up. No major surprise, there was hardly ever anyone in it. I had never been, the menu was uninspiring too.

Word was he had taken out quite a contract with the building owner. Lost count now how many restaurants there since the Bistro moved over increased rates.

I think the Bistro moved due to excessive rent, not rates?

That's what Dale Barber told me, anyways.

Petrol station at Christies on MCR/Pearse Rd ceasing to trade from tomorrow.

Can't compete with Applegreen despite the personal touch!

sligojoek · 31-05-2019 12:48am

Stuck between two Applegreens. They hadn't a hope.

Applegreen were 146.9 for petrol yesterday. Watch it go up over the next week.

31-05-2019 1:08pm

Am I correct in saying that Parkes in Ballisodare are now the only manned filling station?

Given the massive rent of 45,000 pa, I'm not surprised.

Nearly 1,000 per week to rent a pub in a housing estate nearly 1 mile from the main street.

Crazy rent, needs to fall to maybe 100 per week.
