Thats a real pity , the shop added a lot to Cross Street and the city centre .
Would have assumed they were doing fine there

Wallis are closing in the Galway Shopping Centre, 'cos their lease is up. But they're getting or have got (I haven't checked yet) a section in Debenhams.

Galway shopping center hasn't had a good year.

I remember before the internal walkway was roofed. Rain dropping on you walking out of Quinnsworth's

I’d say they were being sarcastic somehow.

Corner Cafe at St Francis Street has been gutted. Anyone know when it closed?
Pure Pharmacy has moved from Henry Street to Salthill

ronnie3585 · 10-11-2019 10:45AM

Salthill must have one of the highest pharmacy to person ratios in the world!

Where is the nearest Off License for that part of the city now? If there is none. That's a big opportunity for someone.

The Joyce's right beside it?

The Merlin is also nearby.

Joyce's, all of a ten second walk from The Lantern. Then theres Londis Mervue, a five minute walk. Duggans another ten minutes or Gala Castlepark Rd.

I'm an eejit! I thought it was the place out by Merlin Park!

Nah, that's the Merlin.

And the closest offie to it is the convenience store across the road from Galway Crystal. Next closest the Spar in Roscam.

What's the nearest pub?
Did The Eastwood open again? I know they were planning on it.

Trappers, probably.

ChewyLouie · 11-11-2019 05:03PM

Maybe the crew from the Lantern will frequent The G now, not far down the road. :rolleyes:

David Martin Hairdressers in Kingston Hall (next to Capones in Knocknacarra) has closed. They may have been closed a while but only just noticed today and didn't see it previously reported.

It's a bit of a funny spot because I wouldn't say it really has convenient parking. You can always park and Joyces are walk across but it's not handy to just park and run in for something. I've always wondered how much foot traffic the polish shop gets there. I wouldn't imagine too many people stumble into there on a whim. Seems like themselves and the dental place could have nearly swapped places to have the GP and dentist side by side and have the food shops together.

ronnie3585 · 12-11-2019 11:09AM

The Full Duck in Salthill has been closed for a couple of weeks.

Mrs OBumble · 12-11-2019 02:29PM

It seems to be the Christmas of pop-up shops:

There's a handmade gifts and decorations place in the former menswear store next to Hughes in Woodquay
Another, looks like more decoration, in the former Deacys fish/veg in High Street
Anther with lifestyle / (mens?) grooming gifts in Upper Abbeygate St, in the tiny shop next next to Java.
And it looked like another going into the former O'Berine's pharmacy near the bottom of Henry Street yesterday.

Another one opening down from Buskers, might be where the flower shop was? Heard something about it on radio this morning but didn't get the details.
