Galway town locals 'wagging their tails' over new food and drink business
The new business owners said some ‘fantastic people’ made this all happen
Galway town locals have been ‘wagging their tails’ over the area’s newest food and drink business.
That’s because Wagtail Coffee has finally opened its doors in Ballinasloe after months of speculation from locals as to what might be going into the premises.
The new business owners say it has been a “brilliant few months getting to know the other business owners in town and the community in and around Society Street”.
They also added that some “fantastic people made this all possible” and that they couldn’t wait to welcome customers through the door.
Wagtail Coffee said in a post: “From Tuesday September 29th at 7am, you won’t have to walk by anymore. We are opening 7am to 3pm Monday to Friday, Saturday 8:30am to 3pm and Sunday 9 to 1pm.
“It’s been a brilliant few months getting to know the other business owners in town and the community in and around Society Street.
“Some fantastic people made this all happen: Mary and Paul Greene and all at Jorena’s Health shop; Gerry Greene; Conail Greene; Paul the mighty painter; Neville Kelly Carpentry and my other Greene neighbours; David and Yvonne at Coffee 47; Niall at Signs and Systems; Bright Ideas Athlone and Sabrina Dinan for her amazing eye and that Bancha green colour everyone keeps complimenting - even I need a coffee after all that.”
As one business opens, sadly another major one is closing.
While Factory Carpets in Westside has not given an exact closing down date to customers, its ‘everything must go sale’ states that all stock must be gone by September.
In a closing down sale statement, the company has said that they still have “several pallets of items to clear” and that prices have been heavily slashed as a result.
They said: “Attention all Galway residents, massive closing down sale happening at Factory Carpet Westside.
“You will not find better prices: 8mm Gloss ac4 Laminate From €6.99 a yard; 4 pallets to clear; 12mm 80 hour water resistance ac5 commercial grade laminate at €13.99 a yard; 3 pallets to clear; 8mm ac4 Matt finish laminate available in 6 colors at €9.99 a yard; Carpet Roll Ends prices Slashed;12mm ac4 herringbone from €15.99 a yard.”
They finished by saying: “All stock must be gone by end of September. There is a few days left and delivery is still available.”
