    To bbe honest with you i dont like the Quayside Shopping Centre. I dont know why but it is not that nice.

    +1 I don't like it either. It's badly laid out and I don't like the low ceilings on the Mezzanine level or that you have to walk through Next to get to the other side.

    To be honest I'm not a fan of it either, the layout is terrible and I feel I should bend over on the Mezz level due to the low ceilings but there seems to be more footfall of customers than Johnston Court and seems to be more successful in comparison.

    It is very confusing walking around there. The lifts are absolutely tiny too. One family per ride, our buggy just fits in.

    Don't staff need to be trained before the shop opens? I'd imagine it will be later than Oct 26th.

    Rickie Devine opened his new riding stables in Ballymote at the weekend.

    It looks brilliant to me (never been in a riding stables/arena before).

    Massive crowd there and Ocean FM were broadcasting on the day. Was told things didn't finish up til after 11 that night.

    Best of luck to him in his venture anyway.

    Supposedly Tom Tailor is re-opening under new management and are looking for staff at the moment. Will try and find more information on this.

    The new shop in Quayside is VM2, it's opening on Thursday the 8th. It basically a Vero Moda shop just smaller.

    Quayside is so badly laid out.
    You'd find it hard to believe it was purpose built.
    It's more like something that was converted and the car park was just an afterthought. Whats the big shop going in? Supervalu?

    Has Tile Savers in the retail park closed for good? There was a sign in the window saying that the shop was closed but it didn't say whether it was only for today or for good.

    Tile Market are gone from the retail park for at least 7 months now. I got my tiles from the Tile Warehouse in Collooney back in March and their prices were very reasonable

    i know of one bussiness in a rual sligo town that has spent money on a new location within that two and was to move a week ago but the engineers in the council will not let this happen because they have decided they need to do traffic reports e.t.c now its plain to be seen that these people within the council are going around at the moment trying to make work for themselves just to look busy,
    in my oppinion our council and councilors are a pathetic bunch in these days when people are trying to develop ne bussiness and create employment thes fools are destroying this because they have their own agendas and protecting their own group of cronies

    Quite a while since anything has been posted here. I've not been in town for quite a while but I took the trip in earlier today.

    Noticed a new cafe open on stephen street called Reidy's. I think it's where Gurns was, next door to Colemans.

    Also noticed a shop in Wine Street car park called The Farm Shop, only saw it from a distance so didn't see what they sell, presumably organic products though.

    I'm nearly sure I noticed another new shop but i can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

    Ya that restuarant is owned by the family that have 'Laura's' out in Carney. It's handy cos the food is nice out there but such a long journey,hope the one in town is good.

    Not a huge Harvey Norman's fan to be honest!

    Outside of their sales, they're typically not great value... and stuff of merit in their sales is often limited to 2 - 3 units.

    For example - you see a ad for them in the newspaper advertising a 40" 1080P TV for €499, they'll only have maybe 1 - 3 of them in each store.
