We need Ikea in Athlone, it would be quicker for the rest of the country to get there rather than having to travel to the east.

- Dunkin doughnuts - though there may be a few around if someone could inform me

- Taco Bell -

I wouldn't be all that excited to see any of the big international chains coming to Ireland. The UK is a bland sea of chain stores, pubs and restaurants. Whenever I travel throughout the UK it feels like I haven't moved at all because everywhere you go it's the exact same shops in the exact same buildings.

Coffeeshops I'm all for though.

Globalisation - down with that sort of thing! I hate the idea of the generic Main Street where every town has the same shops and there's no individualism.

Maoz falafel

jamieh

An Apple Store!

There was one in Dublin and Limerick. Both closed down. By the way things are going I'd say we'd have more chance of Krispy Kremes at this rate. Tim Hortons are ok...you can get them in Spar.

dunkin donuts

Off licenses, pawn shops and Mrs. Quinn's Charity stores. You make your money in the second two and then spend it in the first before going home to watch Jeremy Kyle therefore taking your mind off of your unemployment.

Ireland already has them. Oop North though.

The Complaint Shop.

Pay €5 for 10 minutes. or €10 for 20 minutes.

Someone will sit, listen and nod in agreement as you spout off about, the banks, immigants, bertie, jedward, religions etc etc.

JD weatherspoons for the cheap beer and Spearmint Rhino for the cheap boobies.

I was in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, it was basically Bray on smack. A couple of super casinos might help sort out some of our mess.

Where as in Vegas, most of the city is roofed to protect the consumer from the heat, we could roof most of Bray to protect from the rain. We set up some strip clubs and some casinos, and some pawn shops so people can sell their possessions to keep on playing.

To make it even more authentic we could import some Mexicans to hand out the fliers for the hookers.

Ah, I knew it wouldn't take long...

Proper computer shop like Scan or Aria.

Scan

Aria

Wertz

FEBO

Don't know if it'd catch on here but handy as hell, and eliminates the "Dya want froies with da?"...would probably need to alter some of the recipes for Irish tastes though.

Dotrel

We need more Mom & Pop stores. I'm tired of having to go abroad whenever I want to buy some elderly parents. :mad:

Especially when stoned, you don't have to deal with people. The best market research ever undertaken by anybody to put FEBO's in Amsterdam.

There was one (or a copy) at the Moore st entrance of the Ilac just inside the door.

Dem 1/2 pound Bean Burrito's are feckin savage tho, I hafta admit. Nothin like one of these with a crunchy taco after a few smokes.

aligator_am

I remember a few years back both Dunkin' Doughnuts and 7 eleven had stores here, not sure why they shut down, any one else remember these?

Orando Broom

Walmart to drive the prices down?

Also a Guitar Center. Chape guitars.

As soon as you say "Walmart" and "awesome" in the same sentence I shiver and pray to God Walmart never comes here!
