Tomorrow sees the Urban Co-op open in a  new premises in Limerick! Its been a busy few weeks making the transition from our site in Mulgrave St but we think you will agree this is an exciting development in the growth of the Urban Co-op. We have moved to Tait House on Roxboro Rd! Enterprise development is a key motivation of this setting and we are excited to note the future plans at Tait House to redevelop the walled garden of the former estate to create what will be known as the Urban Farm ( are you seeing the link?) 
We will keep you posted on the progress! Meanwhile we are keen to establish ourselves in this new home and look forward to welcoming you as a customer at the Co-op.
