A local businessman in Cork is making preparations to re open the former Waters Glass premises in Togher, Cork, after a €600,000 refurbishment of the premises that have transformed the former glazing business into a 1000 seat Bingo venue.
The Waters Glass premises closed its doors in March of this year and the owners found themselves looking for a new business opportunity.
James Barber said: “As an owner of Waters Glass I was devastated in March of this year when we had to close our doors and let so many staff go. At its peak Waters Glass employed 65 people.
Mr Barber has already started recruiting staff for his new venture and plans to employ up to 30 staff members in a variety of positions.
The facility, called ‘Rock Bingo’, will be located in the old Waters Glass premises in Togher, Cork.
The Barbers will own and manage the business. They have occupied the address for more than 25 years as Waters Glass. After investing €600,000 into the new project they hope to provide a first-class facility that will be managed by Mr Barber, his brother and two sons.
Dave Barber said: “Standard practice in Ireland for operating a bingo hall is that the club must benefit local charity…We are taking the time to choose worthy local charities that will benefit from the significant funds boost (and) would welcome any local organisations that require funding to contact us.”
