A new Sweet Beat venture...Sweet As. Diner And Deli coming June..not sure of the premises.

What exactly does a vegetable based, vegan friendly deli sell? When I think of a deli it is meat, meat and more meat.

Looks like soups, veggie burgers, grain based salads, pasta dishes, beany stews and some nice looking cakes - I'm dairy free (though not veggie or vegan) so I'm planning to visit next time I'm in Sligo. Nice to have a non meat based meal at least once a day imo.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the food in Sweet Beat, particularly the beans on toast, I just always associated a deli with the American type deli. I think it’s great though. Kinda cutting out meat myself so it’s great to have a place that has a variety of nice dishes without meat. Too many restaurants only offer one veggie option, pasta or veggie burger.

Is Sweet Beat purely a vegan restaurant? It says on their page they are vegan friendly. That sounds like they cater for vegan customers but not necessarily solely vegan. I could be wrong though!

Maybe it means that they are friendly to vegans.

I'd say it's mostly vegan, with a few vegetarian concessions. You won't get any meat but you can get dairy milk in your coffee, they might have some egg/cheese dishes but I've never noticed any.

Looks like the old Heatons will reopen as Sports Direct only. That’s what the new signage seems to suggest. No mention of Brandmax.

A specialty coffee house and espresso bar named Milligram going into old Clarke's butchers on Wine Street. Poster up in the window.

It's open now.

Brill, thanks

Signage up in Sweet As in the old Molly's and their Facebook page is active, they are opening soon but don't see a date.

Also spotted workmen removing the old sign and putting in a new one on the tiny old Bookies beside Michael Quirke's on Wine Street. Seems to be work going on inside too.

Would make the perfect location for a cafe I reckon :pac:

I heard about that nearly 2 years ago and even then it seemed like a done deal and was happening soon. Hadn't heard anything since and assumed it was bullshít. Can't believe it's taken this long.

Possibly waiting for the leases of Currys and Castle Davitt to run out. It's the only reason I can think for it.

yes true - they have a bit of re-organising to do .. I wonder what units Currys and Castle Davitt will move into then - anyone want to speculate ? - or even know?

Blimey, Harvey Norman and Curry's be right near to each other on that side of the retail park? , I'd like to see how that would work out!

They're in the same park as each other in lots of places (Swords, Carrickmines, Naas, Waterford. The stores in Tralee are literally looking at each other. )

Danish retailer JYSK has ramped up its Irish plans - but it's battling with lease time lags https://jrnl.ie/4785710 . Near the end of article mentions Sligo

I see Golden Discs are advertising for sales assistants and store manager roles for a new store in Sligo.

Anyone know where this is going?
