    Anyone know if Subway westside has reopened or is it still closed? There were conflicting reports about it as some here were saying it closed for good and the sign on their door said renovations?

    Will be in the area next week and would pop in for lunch if its open.

    Could you pm me the reasons, understandable if you don’t want to though.

    Found it strange that they closed so suddenly and indicated it was for renovations. Appeared to be a very busy subway too anytime I was there so couldn’t imagine it was lack of custom. That being said it’s rarely I’m that side of town so could have just been by chance it was busy when I was there.

    It could get busy at lunchtime all right, but you'd rarely see anyone in there at any other time. I often wondered how they stayed in business as long as they did in that spot.

    Just seen that Chopped in the Eyre square centre has finally been boarded off.
    It still had trays of canned ingredients sitting on the counter up to last week.

    City Trib p 15 says that planning application for Lidl Knocknacarra, sent back for more info. This means it will be at least another month before permission could be granted.


    Sent back again for further information

    I'd like to see Lidl open, but they must be getting pissed at the moment with trying it get it across the line.

    Drop Lidl an email and tell them you/neighbours want their presence.
    They have used Knocknacarra as an example of how VI nationwide are thwarting their expansion plans - linked it somewhere in-thread

    They'll keep trying.

    When you see how busy Aldi gets on a Friday & Saturday you can understand why they're still at it.

    This is my hope and thinking as well, they have been in business in europe for at least a decade, I'm sure they have this kind of tactic and worse many time already.

    It crazy stuff as most larger town's I've travelled through have, lidl/aldi/tesco/dunnes in, some even across the road from each other. But somehow west galway has a bigger problem with it!?

    Not at all surprised.
    The ain't really great plans. Not willing to put cafe at ground floor?
    If more thought was put into it from the start.
    It would be already over the line by now.

    they're asking them to move the building further away from the boundary and to have regards for the emerging Galway Transport strategy along the western distributor road.

    Bus lanes!?

    I always used to go Sunday around noon. Nightmare. Worst part of my week.

    Switched to Monday morning and it's sooo much better. Still surprisingly busy but not rammed like the weekends. On weekends parking can be such a nightmare with idiots reversing in (how will you load your groceries?) and cars waiting to fight for a spot it was just easier to go to Aldi Westside.

    Reversing in is correct. There’s more mayhem caused by people reversing out.

    Sure.

    And when you bring the trolley-load of groceries back to the car, where you you secure the trolley while you carry the groceries around the to boot?

    Never been a problem.
    And it’s better than reversing out blind into a busy car park.
