Bunda is seemingly a term for a nice Latin arsse in Britain.
My guess with the smashed comment is it will be a burger place.
Maybe the problem is with the name. To me it sounds like a cheap kebab place.
I see Lock Quay Service Station has re-opened under new branding. Anyone know the source/brand of their fuel?
Kyle Hayes and Darragh O’Donovan behind it.
Are you just going off that old tweet or is that out there in other places.
The business’s instagram only follows 4 people, two of which are Hayes and Ashling Thompson who is O’Donovan’s girlfriend.
The page is also heavily followed by Limerick GAA players.
Well spotted.
Separately I saw that the Duo spot on Sarsfield St. is a hair salon. Looks like it's on the more upmarket end to my amateur eyes.
That’s a salon named Odd. They have been trading on Thomas Street for a few years and have relocated to a bigger unit.
Not a new opening exactly but Eli Lilly have announced another 150 jobs in a $1bn investment at their Raheen plant.
Fantastic news. One thousand million dollars is some investment in a city that only a few years ago many people claimed was in 'terminal decline'. Pity, that meanwhile UL are unable to proceed with the Veterinary College. I presume recent controversies are impacting the university's plans to proceed with various developments, particularly their proposed, and very ambitious, Strategic Development Zone.
It is a shame about the veterinary college. I'm more concerned about what happens to their Honan's Quay site though than their misguided SDZ idea.
I have tried to copy these comments to the Limerick Improvement Page as I think that's the best place for discussion about the positive things that are happening in the city and its environs.
seems to be a cookstown based oil company who mainly have petrol stations up the north.
apparently they own a sea tanker so must be a big enough operation

i filled up with diesel last week no issues
its just a real pity that there is no longer a shop there anymore
With the new gaelscoil up the street past the park, the art college and St Mary's moving temporarily into the old school building beside the Absolut soon enough I'm amazed they didnt go for a shop / deli offer here. Big opportunity on Clare Street for someone doing similar. I see 4th and 5th year students walking out from Gaelscoil at lunch to the Maxol on the Dublin Road.
A shop would require a whole team of staff and a supply chain. Might not be something this company wants to deal with.
Could be something in the new development next to it maybe.
I see the former McDonalds unit on Cruises Street has been sold to the guy that owns Shake Shack.
Would be good to see it back in use again. Wonder if Shake Dog will relocate? Also, does Nick Rabbitts have to refer to EVERYTHING as a landmark?
Only if he's not referring to them as iconic....
There's work going on in the old jewellers between Keanes and the Photo Centre on William Street, anyone know whats planned for it ?
Keanes are expanding into the old H. Samuel unit.
Spotted a few new spots around the markets today. There's a bakery gone into the Bia unit, a Brazilian street food stall outside The Edge and a new record shop opened in a unit in Wickham Way.
Sadly Soulroll Sushi have given up on the food truck but their stuff is still available from Seabreeze fishmonger.
Still House is back up and running.
Good to hear. Should have a nice lead in to Christmas for them
Works appear to be getting underway on the former Cobblestone Joe's premises on Little Ellen Street. Permission was granted earlier this year for an additional floor and outdoor terrace over the existing ground floor space. The new bar will be operated by the Old Quarter.
New takeaway opened on Broad street called Lava. Seems a bit like Volcano wings.
Was wondering what that was gonna be. Something about the branding made me think hot sauce or kebabs.
Something being built across from Flannerys on Denmark St. too that has branding that looks like either a chip led place or a French Taco place.
New restaurant opened in Dunnes Jetland today.
Noticed a new Korean restaurant at the top of Shannon street. Haven't tried it yet but I intend to.
Interesting, I look forward to giving it a try.
In the old bike/buggy shop. Sounds interesting.
