    You'd have to leave an application form into the store directly at this stage i'd imagine.. and i'd say (seeing as it's opening in just over a week's time) most the jobs they were looking for are already filled.

    I know they were doing interviews for Virgin and Pamela Scott recently. Probably no harm to print a load of your CV's out and drop them into the stores you wish to apply to on the day they open.

    Best of luck!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 956 ✭✭✭devil-80

    From the Sligo Champion:


    Johnston Court opens next week amid a party atmosphere

    The developers have extended an open invitation to the people of Sligo to join in the carnival which heralds the arrival of 28 retail outlets, restaurant, coffee shop and juice bar, providing shoppers in Sligo with a new and unique offering.Nessa O'Brien, who is currently putting the final touches to the launch party on the 25th, said that there would be so much activity goin

    Sligo city centre will erupt with colour, music, entertainment and a party atmosphere as Johnston Court, the much lauded new shopping mall for the North West, opens its doors for the first time at 11.00am on Thursday week, October 25th.
    The developers have extended an open invitation to the people of Sligo to join in the carnival which heralds the arrival of 28 retail outlets, restaurant, coffee shop and juice bar, providing shoppers in Sligo with a new and unique offering.

    Nessa O'Brien, who is currently putting the final touches to the launch party on the 25th, said that there would be so much activity going on throughout the day that an electric atmosphere would be felt all over the city from early morning through to dusk.

    "Everyone who has been involved with the Johnston Court development is so delighted with the finished product that we had to mark the launch in style, celebrating Sligo's newest landmark," said Ms. O'Brien.

    The celebrations will kick off at 11am with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. Music will then fill the air as the hundreds of anticipated visitors glimpse, for the first time, the six metre high, light filled interior while enjoying a myriad of characters, clowns, jugglers and magicians dispersed throughout the centre for their entertainment.

    "We will also be giving away dozens of great prizes right throughout the day so it will be a non stop party for all.

    "We are confident that Johnston Court will become a place of many more great experiences in the years to come.

    "A place to meet friends or the perfect setting for a quiet cup of coffee; the place to shop in comfort or the right spot for a leisurely browse Johnston Court really will offer something for everyone," said Ms. O'Brien.

    Developers, Ray and Eileen Monahan have spent almost five years seeing the project through from inception to completion and have had a huge, personal input into the development of the 110,000sq ft mall.

    "They would be delighted if everyone would join them to mark this landmark event," said Ms. O'Brien.

    Johnston Court will house a range of leading international and domestic brands, many of which will open in Sligo and indeed, Ireland, for the first time.

    Shoppers will be able to visit, amongst others; Esprit Black; Tom Tailor; Tommy Hilfiger; Vila; Exit; Jack & Jones; Pamela Scott; Elvery's; H Samuel; Virgin Megastore; The Bag Shop; Lbees Shoes; 3; Claire's Accessories; Mullaney's; Only; Mauds; Peter Mark; Sony; Costa Coffee and Jump Juice.

    The centrepiece of the Mall - a magnificent winding staircase - leads to a first and second floor coffee shop which overlooks O‚Connell Street and provides a real focus for the centre.

    Johnston Court will have 28, two-storey shops and a juice bar, coffee shop and restaurant.

    The Mall will be covered with an elaborate glazed roof, six metre high and, together with double height entrances, will allow for maximum natural light penetration.

    The extent of natural light is complemented by internal lighting of blue and white and the Mall is floored and decorated throughout with Jura Limestone.


    Douglas Wallace Architects have sympathetically married the building's original frontage, which faces onto O'Connell Street, with a galleria style pedestrian mall leading onto the Wine Street Car Park Johnston Court is developers Ray and Eileen Monahan's first major retail development. They have already completed office and commercial developments in Sligo and Dublin.

    Start looking now. You know that sometimes it suits companies if you can't start for 4 weeks but you'll have to gauge the interviews correctly.

    You seem very keen to work devil-80. I like that!:D

    Best of luck with your future in Sligo. Hope it works out and keep us posted!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 956 ✭✭✭devil-80


    Off course i'm looking something(but now i have less time).Ok i must go to work.Nice sunday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,319 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    Just a gentle reminder to stay on topic please.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭bobcar61


    Just my opinion but i don't think there is much else to say on JC until it actually opens...then we can give our views on it and see if it lives up to our expectations

    Well in fairness the hot topics about JC have been:
    1) Opening date or lack there off
    2) Only a few "new" shops going in
    3) No Parking

    All these topics are relevant to the discussion here but naturally if someone asks about employment in JC the topic tends to stray!

    The waiting is over this Thursday and i'd say we'll all be posting our views of the Mall after that.

    Girlfriend was telling me friends of hers are queuing outside it to get in first on Thursday at 11am.

    Couldn't help but think what sad sad people we have in our midst.. i mean it isn't open for a limited time, they won't close their doors when it reaches maximum occupancy! :D

    Probably will take a wander over on Thursday after work. Anyone have ideas of opening times? Really going in for Virgin / Sony.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,100 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    That's ridiculous. I might go in for a gander after college on Thursday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    might just leave it till friday morning before i head to work, working till 9pm the night before


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭bobcar61


    im going to go in saturady,i chose to go to dublin with the girlfriend on thursday...such a day to choose to go away


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,640 ✭✭✭Gillie


    I'm on a promise on thursday so won't get to see it till the weekend!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,225 ✭✭✭fillefatale


    I'm in college all week, so I'll probably pop in on Saturday morning. I'm just interested in Virgin really, seeing as everywhere else is mostly franchises of Sligo stores.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 220 ✭✭Rozbeef


    what time are all the shops likely to close at do you think? if there's café's and stuff like that, maybe they'll be open later? or possibly one late night a week, like quayside did?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,797 ✭✭✭bobcar61


    i would have thought it would be open late on thursdays to compete with quayside


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,640 ✭✭✭Gillie


    They'll definately want to compete and rightly so.
    We need more of that!!!

    I can't get in there until Saturday either :(
    I'm only really interested in Virgin though.
    I walked past today and the floor is down, the first unit on the left is boarded up, the second uniton the left is that Bag Store (or something like that).
    I had to laugh on Saturday I was listening to a bit of the shopping spree launch and a business man (I won't name him) was saying how there is no parking problem in town :D and how we now have no need to shop elsewhere as we have every shop that everyother town has.
    So where is the Argos then or have I just walked past it?

    I was in Connaughton Road car park on Saturday.
    Went to the 1st parking machine and it was out of order.
    Trekked up the the only other one in that car park and popped in €3.
    There was a sign saying no change given so I thought fair enough - I lose 50 cent. Try inserting the money 3 times and each time it spat it out!
    Gave up and left the car without a ticket!

    Hadn't got time to go around looking for another machine!
    They are a joke!!:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    walked past the o'connell street entrence this evening, doesn't look like all the units are taken up yet, although still looks like the actual centre will be opening in the morning, say they'll be working quite late tonight or even through it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭nicolaonfire


    In one of the papers today there was a floorplan and yeah its seems that not all of the units are occupied yet.

    There was an ad in the champion saying Shayne Ward will be at the official opening of Virgin on the 1st of Nov. I'm not much of a fan or anything but that is a pretty good celebrity. It'll be worth a look in, twill be quite a view.

    Really?! I've been told you have a fondness for Pamela Scott, AC? ;)
