It's across from the back of the College....C.S.N...

It's still open,,but they are due to move.

They seem to be confused to where they are moving though..Each time We go in,,some say it's over by Woodies,by the old Turners Cross Motors..Others say it's by the old Woodies,where Harvey Normans is now.

Either way,until they do move,,they have very very little stock left in the place on Tramore Rd..

Hope that helps.

Any update on this ? Have they opened up somewhere else ?

Their Facebook page says roughly three weeks from 20th September - behind Great Gas

I think it's fair to assume that they actually have closed...

I've been checking on the Kinsale Road a number of times now, but no sign of them.
It's a crying shame, I liked the place for getting spices and other things supermarkets seem to be scared to carry, like tinned bean sprouts and bamboo shoots...

+1...

We used to go there mostly for the bags of King Prawns,as well as other stuff..

You just can't get decent size prawns anywhere else for the price they had them at...

Well,just can't get decent size prawns anywhere anymore....The ones in the supermarkets,just shrivel up when you cook them,and the guys in the market just rip you off for them.

Ahh well....Good while it lasted.

Great place for buying spices and rice or noodles in bulk (they did a lovely brown rice). Supermarket stuff doesn't compare (in price or taste). It will be missed.

Does anybody know where I could get a chinese lantern in Cork?

TBoneMan · 24-01-2012 10:21pm

If you are looking for really good chinese/asian food there is only one place to go...Jia Jia on the Coal Quay, across from the bridewell...looks like a gift shop from the out side but once you enter you realise its an asian market.

And yes they even have lanterns upstairs

According to my girlfriend who was in Great Gas today, she was told when inquiring that the CX cash and Carry will open in 2 weeks time on the old Turners Cross Motors site. Apparently planning delays held up the opening!

FTGFOP · 07-02-2012 6:56pm

*fingers crossed*

Great news if it's true...

Pity they could not keep people updated via their facebook page though...It doesn't take much..

Hopefully they won't have lost too many customers or business over it.

Fingers crossed +2.

Chessala · 24-02-2012 10:20pm

Would like to know that too if possible....been praying it comes back after all.

be wide of me · 25-02-2012 12:02pm

Open this weekend called in the other day to the petrol station it's right next door to it. They had some stock in the shop so things look hopefull!!

MrFrisp · 25-02-2012 12:02pm

I pass the location of where they are supposed to be opening the new shop a few times a day...

No sign of anything happening there.

It's a pity they can't keep anything updated...Even via their facebook page.

It's a case of just got to keep waiting.

Right next door to the entrance to the shop, on the left is the entrance to their new store if you noticed they cleard all the hoardings and there are trolleys in there. Was in the garage Wednesday and they told my girlfriend it was open this weekend. When i looked in they had some washing powder and other sorts stocked at the front so i presume it is all systems go!

MrFrisp · 25-02-2012 12:29pm

Fantastic....

Must pop over and have a drive around..

Thanks,,Be Wide.

.

MrFrisp · 05-03-2012 5:26pm

Right....

I think they have finally opened..

I passed in on Saturday on the way for a few beers,,and I saw the doors were open,and people going in and out.

I'll try to take a drive over in the morning to confirm.....

Or hopefully someone might beat Me to it.

.

be wide of me · 05-03-2012 6:31pm

Wouldn't bother if i were you it's about 10% the size of the original. Was disappointed. Selection wasn't great. The only redeeming feature was the bags of raw frozen prawns!

MrFrisp · 06-03-2012 10:12am

Thanks Be Wide...

Suits Me perfect....

We only used to shop there for the prawns anyway..Can't get decent ones anywhere else around...Not without being ripped off anyway.

Milly33 · 06-03-2012 12:16pm

Incase anyone is looking for well spices, sauces and bits. I was in the Veg shop that has opened up just past the post office as if you are heading to Turners Cross (is it the south douglas road)...The first right after the post office then the next right..They had a great selection of paste and all that goes..

MrFrisp · 06-03-2012 12:51pm

I think that's the Dosco Ind Est..

Thanks for that Milly...

Must pop out and have a look around.

Directions slightly off there I think. First right after the post office coming from Douglas is a small cul de sac between the post office and the spar shop...I know as I am from there originally :-)

You mean Dosco Industrial estate I assume...also the veg shop is the third turn on the right once you are in the estate (i think).

ABajaninCork · 06-03-2012 2:39pm

So - is the CX store actually open now? I'd like to go there to get some prawns...

Ah sorry, my bad I just remember to turn before the pretty house with all the flowers

But thats the one Dosco's...They seem to be really good value..

the beer revolu · 08-03-2012 3:06pm

Just checked out the new CX.
Pretty rubbish compared to the old store.
It might expand in the future.
I won't be going further than Jia Jia.

Still the search goes on for Annatto seeds (tried that veg shop in Dosco estate too)

where is this shop actually located can someone mark it on google maps or something cause i dont have a clue , where this great gas service station is

cookie75 · 21-03-2012 11:15pm

its just before Woodies if your coming from Turners cross or just after it coming from the Kinsale roundabout

If it's any help..It's on the site of the old Turners Cross Motors/MSL. It's right next to Woodies DIY. (On the left as you face it)

You will see the petrol station,and CX is actually "attached" to the left hand side of the building as you look at it.

Which direction would you be coming from?

Yes...Take a left at the lights as you face Woodies..

After you turn the corner,it's about 10/15 yards,,and you will see the petrol station on the right.

As I said earlier,CX is "attached" to the left hand side of the shop. (Great Gas Service Station).

Outkast_IRE · 22-03-2012 8:33pm

thanks , hoping to get some rice paper and some rice vinegar and will see what else they have

Outkast_IRE · 24-03-2012 2:43pm

I believe so yes.

MrFrisp · 21-01-2014 12:22am

There is also a place now in the CoalQuay, across from the Garda Station.

And there's also a new place not far from CX on the Curragh Road. Pinoy Oriental Shop

It's right next to the Tool Hire shop..

I have not been in there though, so no idea what stuff they sell.

Milly33 · 21-01-2014 10:44am

The place on the coal quay is great. A lot better quality or prices than the CX just parking and that is annoying

Yes,,agreed..

If your with someone you could double park in a car for a few minutes.

If not, it's park up somewhere else and walk.

It's worth it though.

oakshade · 21-01-2014 3:26pm

Does anyone use Mr Bells in Togher (I think...) - what's it like? Good selection?

aujopimur · 21-01-2014 3:34pm

CX at Kinsale Rd. is still open (today).

It shut down about 2 years and theres a gym there now. They relocated a very small section of the shop to the great gas station next to woodies, dunno if its still there or not. I went in once and didnt go back.

Thanks for the info,i will call into Jia Jia then they look to be still open anyway

Milly33 · 03-02-2016 10:25am

The place they moved into to be honest was fairly crap they are still there I am nearly sure..

Youd be better off calling to the place on Coal Quay maybe they have great stuff and are so nice there
