The council have waived fees for tables but you do still need to apply.

Blind eye is being turned to the pints; not worth the enforcement.

Since the bank holiday anyway. If people want to drink in the square let them at it but the mess some of them leave behind is disgraceful. Use the bloody bins lads.

ghostdancer · 18-06-2020 2:02pm

The bins in the square were overflowing on Sunday afternoon when I passed. the ones outside Supermac weren't full though.

Law is that you need to consume 100m from the premises, and payment can't be taken on premises, both of which are being broken, but as said it's hardly worth the hassle. Not like there's any Gardai in the town most of the time anyway....

Emmas back open for takeout, not sure if that's recent as I wasn't down in the Glenroyal for a few weeks

Orion · 30-06-2020 3:32am

Emma's is open for sit in and takeout. Was talking to her this evening.

Yup, got them to do some work for us last year... knocking two rooms into one, widening an existing patio door and installing a large slider etc..

Very happy with the work and good to deal with, would recommend to anyone.

There's a new place opening in the old Chill location in Manor Mills, Sasta by the river.

L1011 · 02-07-2020 9:50am

Chill was the longest lasting operator there I believe, its never been a great unit because people don't go down the river side and don't notice from the inside. Was meant to be a pub beside it (where the VEC are) and more outdoor seating etc - never happened!

jethrothe2nd · 02-07-2020 1:33pm

Yeah, anything in that unit seems to be doomed to failure, however I really hope that isn't the case with this new place. In general, that whole area is a great space and I often think a lot more could be done to entice people down there which would help footfall-wise.

Great news.

After losing a few shops from Main Street (Siopa Milsean, SVdP, XpressFix, Barbers & Dry Cleaners) as well as the Duke & Coachman being closed, it's good to see some sort of reversal of that trend.

By the way, I see a 'Lease Agreed' sign in the XpressFix unit on the corner - any idea what's happening with that?

Is elverys permanently gone?

L1011 · 07-07-2020 11:55am

Its gone off their website, has been for weeks so I assumed so.

Redsoxfan · 11-07-2020 4:14pm

Any recommendations for the following locally?

Plumber/tiler - to do a small renovation (toilet, sink, tiles) understairs wc

Plasterer - to skim a patch of ceiling.

Gutter repairs

Another planning app gone in for the frites shack at Circle K

For retaining any remaining chance I have of not getting a heart attack, I oppose this :pac:

I will be trying them solely based you your strong endorsements on here.

L1011 · 17-07-2020 7:22pm

I've never actually tried that operator; but I've gone to festivals in .nl and basically lived off frites met fritesaus (and Jupiler) for a four day weekend.

Rathkenny · 28-07-2020 11:09am

Elverys is due to reopen in Manor Mills on 7th August.

Sadly Player One isn't reopening though .

Glenroyal's gone in for 16 more bedrooms.

The original plan for the hotel was 13 bedrooms in total as far as I remember - although I'm fairly sure that was increased between the proposal and opening - and this will bring it over 140 if the figure online is accurate.

ghostdancer · 10-08-2020 10:31pm

Anytime Fitness hoping to be open in the unit beside Boots before Xmas. Doing soundproofing works at the moment. Pre-covid, they had planned to be open by the end of the summer.

Mulcahy's chalkboard says its now called Tommy's.

I don't know the lads there well enough to know if that's one of the younger ones taking over or whether someone bought it; though.

It's Tommy who used to be the butcher in Supervalu.

Any idea what's going near Yeah Burger on the vacant corner slot?

Fair play to him but bad luck for Supervalu, he was an asset to the place.

Yep. Fone+ it's called. Signage went up the other day.

And there's another one going in where SVdP was. That makes 5 by my count. Fonia by the Garda station is gone.

L1011 · 24-08-2020 1:20pm

Fonia are moving... somewhere, not sure where. He's working from a van currently I think.

I think I read here that he is the one moving into the charity shop unit.

Lidl have applied for the long-expected permission to nuke the existing store and replace it. The existing store and environs is incredibly run down and totally out of character for the chain; presumably because they knew it was due to go.

Standard new store design it seems, 140sqm extra sales floor, 350sqm extra warehouse, EV chargers, bike parking etc etc.

AttentionBebe · 22-09-2020 3:50pm

Is the new Lidl due to go into the existing site or somewhere else?

L1011 · 22-09-2020 6:25pm

Existing site.

L1011 · 03-10-2020 7:50pm

Dee Dees in The Range is gone; torn out and replaced by a display of fake Christmas trees currently

Someone ages ago on this thread said it was going, to be replaced by an Iceland branch; The Range have these in some stores in the UK currently so this is very plausible.

Iceland have some decent own-brand stuff and also some mass market UK brands vastly cheaper than other stores; they hurt their own image with those Katona ads etc and their original store locations in Ireland gave it an even more artificially downmarket image.

However, there's still no confirmation this is actually happening

ampleforth · 03-10-2020 7:53pm

Does anybody know what will happen in Kildare in the spot where the old Lidl used to be (main road after Silken Tomas) ?

I only noticed the new shop here today (not down Main St very often at the moment). Is it another phone shop?

I think I was the one who mentioned Iceland going into The Range. Think I saw a planning notice for it.

L1011 · 03-10-2020 8:04pm

I've never seen a planning app for it; I'm not sure it'd need one as they have planning for 'variety' use and already sell food and drink. Would need it for an offo; which a few Icelands have but I don't think any of the instore Range ones do.

That's from 2018 and its to alter the noise levels on their aircon units; was refused and upheld on appeal. I've no idea why they haven't taken the notice down!

L1011 · 11-10-2020 2:37pm

Didn't notice that the Duke and Coachman has reopened as The Red Door, presumably Louis remembered it has substantial outdoor capacity and was still licenced!

The barbers that was closed in Manor Mills has knocked through in to the (also closed) key cutting place, been fully refit and is now a Boston chain barber. May be completely new operators, never used it so don't know. Doesn't seem to focus on the kids seats like the old one did.

That key cutting place has been there forever. Used to bring the kids to the barbers, but the youngest used to scream the place down. (We cut it at home now.)

L1011 · 11-10-2020 9:00pm

By comparison to Jims which is maybe 40 years there it was very young!

donspeekinglesh · 11-10-2020 9:09pm

True. Anything before I moved to the town (in 2008) I'll count as forever!

Brought the young lad there at the weekend, happy with his hair. Will give it a go myself.
