The store opened its doors this morning, with the bulk of positions already filled.

The building has undergone massive renovation in recent months.

New nightclub to open in Dundalk

Renovation work currently underway at Studio 8

A new nightclub is set to open in Dundalk. Or rather, an old one is set to reopen.

Renovation work is currently underway at the old Studio 8 nightclub at the Fairways Hotel. Studio 8 was extremely popular in the 80s and 90s in Dundalk but has been largely idle in recent times, apart from a brief stint in which it opened while Ridley’s was renovated a few years back.

Indeed, since 2010 it has operated as a bingo venue for Riva Leisure, which unfortunately shut its doors in recent weeks.

Now Conn Fox, who has previously worked in the likes of Silence, has taken over the old nightclub and is currently in the process of renovating it.

No date has yet been set for Studio 8’s opening but Conn is on the look out for staff and anyone interested can contact him at connfoxstudio8@yahoo.ie
