Sadly missed Shiels shop for a sit down coffee break and a glance at the papers.

    I was disappointed to return to Ennis after a month and find a brand new "rip off” replacement for the old shiels service station shop on the Gort road. I used to enjoy buying a coffee and sandwich and having a quick glance over the daily papers from the stand. None of the staff had an issue with this as I was a regular and would always purchase food and drink on the premises. Now we have this new franchise store along with increased coffee and food prices and no sit down facilities. :mad:

    Roll on Mac Donald’s, maybe they might offer us the Champion along with the Indo. :)

    Sorry, I really don't agree with this. I never liked Sheils's to be honext. It was always, I wouldn't say dirty but not very clean I think. Selection of stuff was always substandardas well. I think Centra will be a good thing now. And as for Mc Donalds, see the post I made in the thread regarding that very franchise...

    I never had a problem with hygene there. If it was it would be from people leaving a mess after themselves, ie kenco cups, wrappings and crumbs especially around lunch time. It was never ment to be a restaurant, just a place to have a quick snack and a cuppa. The staff would often remove the stools during the day to stop people especially students from hanging around.

    I don't mean it's dirty just a bit off-white if you know what I mean. Kinda dull.

    It was coming to the end of its shelf life so they had no interest in decorating the place over the last few years.
