Carton Park Maynooth

livEwirE

Hi all,

Does anyone know if the 'NEXT' opening in November is ONLY Home and Kids - according to the signs on the windows. Seems such a waste if it is. When the hell is Heatons opening, the signs have been up for months:rolleyes:

Anyone got any info on other shops opening soon, will Penneys EVER open:)

~livEwirE~

Moonbeam

Heatons is opening today according to the signs.

livEwirE

Cool thanks for that mate, didn't know cheers

df1985

really hope its not just home and kids.them units look massive, surely enough room for mens and womens too.isnt new look and river island meant to open or that just a rumour?

daheff

Is Next really opening in Maynooth? I thought this was just a (wishful thinking) rumour?

df1985

the signs are up saying opening soon.

Moonbeam

I took it to mean incl Home and Kids.

I love next for kids and home but it is so expensive here compared to the North that is is disappointing:(

The_Conductor

Does anyone have a phone number for Next Kids there? I have a few online orders that I need to collect, and would like to phone ahead to make sure they're in.

Cheers,

Shane

Anyone got updates on more stores opening in Carton Park before Christmas 2010? Seems such a shame that we never got a Penny's, my OH would have loved that

Moonbeam

So would I:) was there rumours of one?
Anyone know what the other shops are supposed to be?

livEwirE

Yeah, Penny's was due to open in 2009 on the actual site of the old Tesco's which would've been massive! Still nothing there though

The_Conductor

Penneys are about the only retailer who are mopping up these days- so I wouldn't discount them turning up at some stage (if you'll excuse the pun).

BluesBerry

I heard Boots is opening up there, can anyone confirm this
Id love a boots there

Moonbeam

Boots and Pennys then all I would need is a big mega baby superstore and I would be sorted!
and a cinema which by the looks of it isn't gonig to come for another 10 years then I would never have to leave the town:)

livEwirE

Yeah, the cinema would be great, won't hold my breath though:p

Orion

Considering that a cinema was turned down at the M4 interchange park on the Celbridge Road don't hold your breath. That was on a site that was earmarked for a cinema. The cinema developer is now seeking judicial review of the rejection.

flux27

I was up there the other day and Boots is set to open in one of the units according to the signs on the door

livEwirE

Cool, didn't know that flux27, I think there is already a pharmacy beside Tesco so I wonder what impact it would have on it if Boots did open? Did the signs have a date by any chance?

Moonbeam

I would love a boots:)
I don't think it would affect the pharmacy that is there much.

The proposal was that the Boots was not to have a dispensing pharmacy- which would keep everyone happy. Its similar to Boots in Dundrum- you can't get prescriptions from them. They also wouldn't sell larger packs of Panadol etc.

The signs are up outside the shop for the new boots so it's official

The guys in Tesco were talking about it- apparently its only 2 weeks away from opening?

Moonbeam

In time for christmas:)
Somewhere else for me to spend money!
I think it is more of a risk to Tesco then any where else,there is some stuff I would buy in boots that I get in Tesco as there is no boots nearby...

BluesBerry

Yaaaaay seen the signs up today Boots is opening

livEwirE

Brilliant news guys, now hopefully it will be a proper sized Boots store, unlike the crappy little Next that went in there which is just selling kids and homeware:rolleyes:

Roll on PENNEYS!!!

df1985

The boots signs up also say pharmacy on them too so that small one beside tesco could be in trouble!

Blonn_de

Boots is almost ready to open by the looks of things there at the weekend!! wish there was a penneys there

flux27

Boots opening up next Wednesday 17 November according to signs in the window

bittihuduga

heard the ad in radio about boots opening on nov 17th

livEwirE

Had a look around boots the other night, not bad I suppose, a decent size I think, nothing on the scale of Liffey Valley's boots though:rolleyes: Any other opinions?

Moonbeam

Went their on Wednesday,I was hoping for some really good opening special offers but there were none.
Gorgeous christmas gift sets though:)
It is a big enough store,has a pharmacy not much in the way of baby toys,don't think there were any baby clothes so not on par with Liffey Valley but better then no boots:)

The_Conductor

We had a look through the window on Monday- I think the best way of describing it is a competent but unexciting branch...... Liffey Valley Boots has us spoilt

cat91

i saw that there doing something to the building beside boots did anyone hear whats going in there?:)

flux27

I heard there was going to be a pet shop but not sure .......

folan

also heard a pet store.

Dunnep

You would think Penneys would be all on for coming to Maynooth, what with the students and also the fact that there isn't a penneys in Liffey Valley

cat91

yeh pennys would be great.

fonda

Maxi Zoo or whatever they are called are going in there.

ffs, another pet shop, just what the area needs:rolleyes:

Orion

Budgies won't be happy with that.

Too right I'd imagine... wouldn't think there's that much room for multiple pet shops in a town

A university town has a different demographic profile than any other random town- you'd be surprised at the capacity of a university town for laundrettes, pet shops, fast food joints etc....... That said- a Penny's would have suited a lot of people a whole lot better

Not too sure how many Maynooth students have a dog... most I knew could barely look after themselves!

folan

dogs, not so much. Gold fish, hamsters and the occasional snake though....

True- hence the laundromattes and the fast food joints.......

Moonbeam

My 2 year old would love another pet shop to drag me into and point out every animal and then ask can we bring them home please:)

I am still hoping for a Pennys and dreaming of a cinema.

livEwirE

WOW, now a cinema would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet:D

Dunnep

Does anyone know anything about the new housing development on the Dunboyne Road?

Other than the developer being either very brave or very stupid, no.

I'd be nearly certain the roof heights in Carton Park are far too small for a modern cinema.
