Iconic landmark transformed into barber shop and coffee house
An iconic landmark of the Isle of Man’s entertainment industry has been given a new lease of life by a former TT rider.
Paramount City – on Douglas Promenade – has reopened its doors after extensive renovation as a barber shop and coffee house.
It’s the brainchild of Richard ‘Milky’ Quayle and his wife Lydia who hope to make the venue a continental style café bar.
They’ll be applying for an alcohol licence in due course.
Milky told Manx Radio he knows it’s a difficult time for the hospitality industry:
MHKs concerned about 'cancelled' medical treatments
Minimum wage increase of 'significant concern' to agricultural community
Manx doctors accept pay offer, ending long-running dispute
Hooper: 'Government ministers are dodging questions over potential cuts'
Manx Pension Guarantee proposal about creating certainty says Treasury Minister
