I'd say it's a lot more than just a LIDL, passed it the other day on the Bus and there are an awful lot of pilings going in for just a LIDL, I'd say there are some Appts aswel, or some kind of Mall

Happens a lot in small towns. In Terenure they are just a stones throw away from each other. Same in Nutgrove

Anyone know what's being built in the old Deerhunter site?

The hoardings around the site have been up for years but driving by yesterday I noticed something was actually being built in there!!

Yes but the overall job has been going on for about 30 months

+1 there are still health and safety notices on the hoarding as if it's an ongoing construction project. A lot of money was spent removing the thatch and installing a new slate roof so somebody has plans for the place but it sure is moving along very slowly.

maybe they're getting it ready for The Pen Shop for when they leave DLSC.

Sure five months ago they gave it a paint job and a year prior they removed the thatched roof.

It's a very slow odd process.

Must be each the guys who own Shankill shopping centre

Absolutely nothing. Every second person has heard rumours of various tenants like Tesco or Aldi but as of yet, nothing has happened and it's been effectively idle for nearly two years since it was done up.

I just noticed that the Twyford car stock had been cleared out, didn't notice that the site next door had been cleaned up. Difficult to see what kind of businesses could flourish there, very little footfall and not much parking on the main road during business hours. There is plenty of parking at the rear but most people passing in cars wouldn't know that.

Maybe it might go back to being a petrol station

The entire Twyford motors site and adjoining buildings and car park seems to have been cleared up and cleaned in the last few days. Plans afoot for development maybe??

new bike shop on York Road http://www.dlbcycles.ie/

They sell fixies and cargo bikes, hipsters are fast getting a one stop shop down that end of town with craft beer, beard oil, fancy coffee etc.

Do you mean the 'Sol' operation in the rear corridor of Dunnes Cornelscourt? That's been in operation for a while now.

Twyford Motors has moved to Cornelscourt according to the guys in the fruit & veg shop across the road, I've no idea where exactly.

No its going in beside The Grafton Barber where Robbins Delicatessen used to be. Twyford Motors is now open at the back of where the Garden Centre used to be according to their website

I passed Kitchen 62 yesterday and noticed signs in the window saying that is reopening "very soon".

Yeah I was surprised when I saw they had closed because they always seemed busy at the weekends alright. Probably very slow trade during the week.

The Vanilla Pod (of Carrickmines retail park fame) are opening a unit in the Blackrock Shopping Centre on the ground floor where that cafe encore used to be.

Also heard that the Mellow Fig are opening a take out only deli two doors down from where Rage restaurant is in Blackrock

remember they had a toy shop go into the old Knowles site?
it lasted all of five minutes.

there was something odd & creepy looking about that shop. All the boxes in the window had faded terribly in the sun.

It is now the sari sari Filipino store that was previously opposite walters pub at the peoples park. I find it has gotten better these days. Always check the BB dates in these shops.

at the risk of sounding thick, where is Central park? I've never heard of it (moved back 2 years ago so missed a few naming ceremonies).

Central Park is Leopardstown I think, sort of behind Vodafone.

It's the offices / apartments / retail units beside Vodafone and the Clayton Hotel in Leopardstown. I've no idea why it's called Central Park because there's nothing central about it, nor is there any sort of park.

To date the only retail units have been Centra, Munchies and Baan Thai. The rest of the units have been empty since they were built back in the Tiger, but there is a beauty salon opening in one of them now (the unit closest to the Luas stop).
