It's a Tesco Express. From memory it's in a new development called the Shine Centre.

Don't think it's open yet? There was an ad in the paper looking for staff this week.

Across from the Oakdale estate, beside Freda's and Scrubs laundrette. Its not open yet - a work in progress it seems!

It opened last Friday, anyone in it yet & what do ye think of it?

Yeah I was in it, its actually alright they have a good few things in there.
No deli counter, but they have the self service tills.
But they dont want you getting a trolley, even though there is a load of trolleys outside.
I dont know how long the spar shop will stay open, it just has the deli counter

Ya, was in it. Was impressed. Has everything you need... except as the previous poster said a deli counter. I found the staff lovely too. spar could be hit alright especially as tescos has better parking facilities.
