New Lidl Mullingar

I believe there is a new Lidl store opening in Patrick Street, Mullingar.

Does anyone know exactly where it is located? Possible post a Google map link? Thanks.

Would you rather the new Lidl store in the town centre, maybe next door to the Post Office

up town would make more sense.
shops at the edge of town takes shoppers out of the retail core.

Does Mullingar need another Lidl? I know its the far side but its not like the existing one is insuccifient. Or will they close the other one?

No, the original store will not be closing as it has it's own passing trade aswell as everyone who lives that side of town. In fact, the new store opening has not affected their trade as yet (a little bird told me...then flew away).

There is a large proportion of people living within walking distance of the new store - but as it doesn't have a hairdressers, tea shop, chemist or post office etc., on site, people will still come into town for all their other shopping needs.

Anyone been to the new chipper behind it? Any good?

Also they have created much needed jobs for Mullingar.

Roll on the second Aldi's....:D

really? another Aldi? Mullingar needs more independent shops.
too many franchise and discount stores already in the town

Well I've visited the new Lidl every week for the past month or so.
Its very quiet compared with Aldi. Only one checkout open yesterday compared with 3 in Aldi and each of those 3 were busier than the one in Lidl. Only one person had a trolley whereas most did in Aldi.

I've definitely noticed Aldi being quieter recently.
no harm either. That place can be crazy busy
