Shops/Businesses opening/closing

biko

This thread is for information about shops, restaurants and other businesses you have seen opening or closing.

It is not for hearsay ("someone told me X or Y is about to open/close") but for your own personal observations.

It is not for speculations on why a place opened/closed.

Chat is fine but keep it on topic.

Be civil to staff and proprietors of local businesses.

Fit out is pretty close to finished (construction is closed my arse).

I reckon they'll open soon enough, maybe when the restrictions next lift a bit.

Failte Ireland office on Forster St, next to Citylink office, has closed. Leaving no tourist office in the city currently.

It's temporary though, just like other covid affected businesses.

Nope, that's the old unit which they vacated over a year ago.

That's great! It's a bigger place than they currently have I think. Not the kind of shop I go into much but nice guys and I'm glad they're doing well.

I've seen jobs advertised for Heatons which they also own and would fit the layout of the centre.
