The place next door to The Old Forge (two doors down from Massimos) is getting a refurb. Seems to have been empty for a while.

There were builders in Una Taffees this morning but probably trying to stop it falling down than putting anything new in there.....

An Pucan on Forster St is closed. Sign on the door says "for renovations".

We just walked past and it looks like the stock is being removed, so must be lots of work being done :rolleyes:

Well there's a big poster in a window down there saying a charity shop is opening but I'm not certain if it's exactly two doors down from the old forge

Mr Price (Terryland) is in a dispute with their landlord's bank. It's not closed per se, but the staff are picketing outside.

Yup, i chose my words carefully

When we were going home last night, the vehicles outside being used to remove stuff included a horse float.

MrPrice staff were also picketing outside the financial centre @ Moneenageisha today. One of their signs referred to upwards only rent reviews.

Their manager was on the radio today (Galway Bay) Their landlord didn't get permission from ACC to lease the building to Mr. Price. Landlord is now gone bust and ACC are now trying to pull the lease. Mr Price want to stay and are willing to pay fair market rent or purchase the unit at fair market price but ACC are not interested.

This was just their version of the story but if it's true, it's mad that the bank won't make a deal rather than have an empty unit on their hands.

The petrol station on the Tuam road is reopened as Spar/Top.

Looks like they redid the shop part

Redhairedguy · 21-10-2013 08:55PM

Nice one. I thought it was looking all sparkly shiny alright, as I was driving past yesterday evening.

I hope it's 24 hour like before, t'would be handy for us nocturnal folks that need milk and bread at 4am.
