Welcome to a few new Arklow businesses and a fond goodbye to some old friends!
It’s great to see some new faces joining us in the town – congratulations to Mr Denis who has opened “Central Turk” on Abbey Lane celebrating great food and coffee joining our 14 coffee hotspots in town. Also we welcome a new Asian restaurant to the Main Street – “The Holy Grail” so give local business your support. If the good weather forecasted for this weekend is tempting you who not enjoy a walk in town… I’m sure Colm Kavanagh would love to offer you a cool ice cream cone while you are about town!
Meantime we wish Larry Byrne and David Lane, two wonderful contributors to our town, a wonderful retirement. Thanks to you both from your many Arklow & District business colleagues.
