Tesco Kimmage

irishguy

Does anyone know where the new Tesco in Kimmage is going to open?

DFB BOY

not too sure,heard a rumour alright that there was one opening,they opened one in Crumlin Village there last year alrite but nothing advertised so far for the new one although i think Superquinn in Sundrive rules the roost around the area.

It'll be in the papers in the morning, they did a launch of new stores with opening dates today

I admit some of their prices are a bit ott but they do have some great offers running most of the time,all depends what you do be going in for but does be worth having a look around and snagging a few bargains now and again :D

just read in the papers there the new lot of tescos opening up,the one in kimmage will create 16 new jobs so has to be a damn small one if thats the case,i live around the area and heard a rumour it will be just down past the ladbrookes betting shop on kimmage road,there has been a vacant shop there the last while,think it used to be a motorbike shop so plenty of space out the back,there is a centra just up from it so will have plenty to choose from if it does open there

tell me bout it,myself and the missus went in there a couple of weeks ago for a few bits,ended up spending over a 100 euro,not just on food and drink,ended up leaving with a garden swing for the back aswell :eek:

If it's 16 new staff then it looks as if it's a Tesco Express that is opening, rather than a full-blown Tesco. I can't think offhand of any empty premises in Kimmage that would be big enough to house a main store either.

The new(ish) ones in Crumlin Village, Dolphin's Barn & Thomas St are all Tesco Express, which don't really have as big a selection of goods, or as many of the bargains or special offers that are available in the main stores.

I remember that motorbike shop!

I grew up in the area but moved in my teens. As I recall, at the time, Crumlin Shopping Centre (next to the Garda station and the Swimming Pool) and the local Superquinn in Kimmage always provided the local shopping experience

Many a happy experience fishing in the river Poddle, not that we ever caught anything, it was that filthy
