new crescent units

theblackstuff

just starting this thread in order to collect the information that seems to be floating around on the different threads...

H&M are setting up out here the were recruiting a while back...

Next are taking a unit and moving out of cruises street part of their policy of opening bigger shops like their one in galway city or the one at the childers road...

in the rumour area

i heard pennys were taking a unit and HMV moving into pennys old place, what does this mean to the future of hmv cruises street ???


also another possability miss selfridge moved away from unit opposite roches because contract was up and crescent was in pipeline??


any other shops

what would be your wish list??

Cool. Limerick really needs a bigger music shop. HMV is constantly packed and there's always tons of scumbags hanging around outside. If they take over Penny's there'll be loads of room. Though maybe too much?
Penny's is pretty huge, between the ground floor and the first. Maybe they'll divide the front and the back into two different shops.
Probably a stupid question but what's H&M?

As for the wishlist, obviously M&S

H&M, hoorah!

I hate shopping but I was in H&M the other week in Scotland and it just had everything I wanted for reasonable prices.

Surely thay'd keep it though. The crescent had Golden Discs and Black track, but HMV might make things a bit more competative. I don't like Golden Discs myself, but Black Track is the best place to find the odd oldie that you'd never expect to get. (Unless it's gone. Everything keeps changing!) Lots of Del Amitri.

I miss the old crescent. The one where Santa Claus had a grotto that had the entrance and exit and it took what felt like hours to get to see him. The MacDonalds at the crescent was the first MacDonalds I was ever in... memories!

H&M is a really really cheap clothing company. However, what is not known very much is that they make the clothes in countries where pay only $1 a day or something ridiculous like that.

Also heard that Galway got M&S - which would be fantastic in Limerick but no plans as of yet I believe.

the other 3 parts of the cresent are really going to be in trouble now since all the new shops are being made in only one part of the cresent

H&M, if they moved in that would mean that the cresent would be gearing itself for the lower waged... meaning the likes of Virgin wouldnt come... and more than likely scumbags would hang around!!!

im guessing that H&M is really cheap then

Speaking of HMV, at least there's more room to move upstairs now, but everythings hard to find again.

What Limerick needs is another music instrument store, we got Savins which is a right rip-off, Steamboat Quay (too small and rumours of a closedown, dunno, haven't been there in months?)

I'm just guessing that too! 1 huge1 ... from what others have said

Just like every single other fashion chain on the planet. Even items that have been tailored in a first world country generally tend to use material and threads that have been produced in sweatshop conditions.

If it doesn't say 100% fair trade then it isn't.

In my opinion that's rubbish. H&M might be cheap, but it's not that cheap. Penneys and Dunnes are cheaper - it's like a better quality version of Penneys at a cross between Dunnes and M&S prices. Libaas, JRs Fashions, Jean Scene, Heatons - they're all relatively or totally cheap. The Crescent hasn't been seen as gearing itself towards the lower waged by their existance!

Well as i've said above i've never actually been in the shop so i was just going by what people have said above!

H&M is a great shop, more in line with topman than lifestyle sports. Good clothes, reasonably priced.

discussion on Maplins ahve been moved to their own thread as they were taking this one off on a tangient.

wouldn't mind seeing a bigger hmv out in the cresent.. the one in town is awfully claustrophobic.. and they never have anything good.. after spending a year in dub you miss the huge choice in clothes, places to eat and go..

The Lopper

Without a doubt its too small. Empire Music can be good, they often have you don't find in HMV, but they can be expensive and their film section is fairly bad (although it was the only place in town i could find High Plains Drifter.)

well you have to give credit to hmv they cram all the stuff they can into there shop on cruises

limerick_man

Definatly, plus you can order anything from HMV! It really is an asset to the city!
