‘Amazing news’ - Popular shop in growing suburb of Waterford city set to reopen
Spar in Ferrybank is set to reopen having been closed for 16 months
A popular shop in a growing suburb of Waterford city is set to reopen, much to the delight of many in the local community.
In a statement provided to the Facebook group Ferrybank Focus, Triode Newhill Management Services confirmed its plans for the store.
A spokesperson for the company said: “Subject to contract, we are in the process of leasing out the Ferrybank retail unit to a new local retailer to trade a newly refurbished SPAR convenience store.
“Please note that contracts have been issued and the legal process is underway.”
Spar closed its doors in May of last year, citing rising costs as the reason for its closure.
The news of its reopening has been welcomed by many in the Ferrybank area, who had been without a local shop for over a year.
One local woman said it was “amazing news for the people” while a local man remarked that it was “about time” that the shop was reopened.
