No decent shops in Ennis

Shapey Fiend

Was reading in the Indo that H&H's closure is a result of ridiculously rushed over expansion rather than there being a big downturn in bookshop trade. Feel sorry for the staff. They were all really sound in there, Shannon airport staff as well.

Has the Puccinos chain gone awry? I see the place opposite Dunnes seems to be going independent. I hope their sandwiches are as nice as the old ones.

I was right ! Ennis cannot substain anymore book shops.
Hughes & Hughes has just filed for receivership....
Not that the ennis store brought down the whole chain,
We won't see Easons anytime soon in town.

As you made the point yourself...the whole chain went not the Ennis branch alone. For all we know the Ennis branch may have been making a profit (I have no idea)....Ennis needed the competition H&H brought with it as well as a nice light, spacious, well stocked bookstore which it now sadly no longer has.

Ennis is known as boutique capital of Ireland!! if u went to lim u wont find any shops selling designer clothes like cornocopia,top brands, or young world for childrens brands,wont find them anywhere in lim there all unique clothes and not clothes flooded in the market like river island. bought 3/4 lengths one yr there and every second person has them. ennis has all the big designer labels, just not the chain shops, as much as i love river island and a wear its common everywhere

By whom? That's just a slogan the retailer organisers of Ennis Fashion Week came up with. Galway has far many more boutiques, but also has chains, so caters for all sections of the market.

I personally think that Ennis is very poor when it comes to shops because cities with high standard shops are very close to Ennis such as Limerick,Galway and Cork each just under 2 hours drive.But I have to admit Ennis does have some decent shops such as a very high standard Dunnes Stores but a very low standard Tescos which lies in a place called "Ennis Shopping Centre" and it only has 5-7 low standard shops which is very dissapointing

Tesco tried to build a new center but the locals objected, bet that doesn't happed too often in Ireland

I wouldn't have much knowledge of ladies shopping, but for men we have some good options, main stocking the brand names, but if someone wants some of the larger chain options then they are only a short drive away
