Has anyone heard any news about new stores planned for the redeveloped Frascati?

patrickbrophy18

Not too sure if anyone remembers this. However, does anyone remember the Joystick video game store and the Bewleys Cafe (Kylemore) in Frascati Shopping Center?

When I was about 9 or 10, I was gutted to find out that Joystick had closed down and was replaced with the Beauty Store. At the time, the SNES, Sega Mega Drive (Genesis in the US), NES and Gameboy were the business.

Then, at the age of 16 or 17, a lot of new brand names had been introduced to Frascati including Pull And Bear and Zara among others. As a result, Bewleys Cafe (Kylemore) was done away with. A much smaller cafe called Melt opened up in a different part of the shop floor.

In fact, Frascati Shopping Center used to have a spiraling staircase near the front between the basement floor and the first floor. There was a water feature at the bottom and a skylight at the top. Either way, it was a lot more spacious with much better lighting.

Chances are it's for their store in Blackrock in Cork, and the Dublin bit was an error.

Can't find it now as I only saw it shared on social media, but I believe it was indeed.ie

I'm only guessing is the NTPA location, it may not be. I just can't think of any other sites that would be close enough to completion that they would be hiring!

where's the car park?

I am hoping the developer has gone for three storeys, on the basis two is a concession that might see it approved.

parking (for the residents) is around the back, via a road to the right of the blue cottage.

I would say the vegetation won't be hanging gently from the window sills unless its seaweed thrown up by a storm. The design has all the subtlety of a breeze block in the snot!

Hence the seaweed!

Still looks better than Our Lady's Manor across the road though

Christ that looks horrific! Surely they could have come up with a nicer design.

They can't really lower their prices. Supermarkets operate hilariously low margins. They have to lower their costs. Unless a segment of the market continues to shop there despite the higher cost, they will close.

The margin in SuperValu and Centra is much higher than other supermarkets. It's why I never shop in them

Deansgrange, Pottery Rd & now this one all within less than a 5 min drive of each other.

It seems to be the aggressive Starbucks model of expansion.

Clusters of shops have economies of scale (overlapping management, deliveries and staff who can easily move around). They use that to try and dominate in an area and drive out the competition.

Lidl Glenageary opened today creating 20 jobs. It's the 149th Lidl store in Ireland - surely they've reached capacity now?

I'm sure the jobs are just displacing more than 20 jobs.

Between Aldi, LIDL and Tesco the area is well serviced. SuperValu and Spar/ Centre are going to find it tough.

I am extremely sureprised that such a shop is doing so well at the moment. I thought they went tits up years ago but they seem to have done a good job to pick themselves up.

To be fair to them Golden Discs have done everything they can to keep themselves afloat so far, restructuring etc and keeping themselves priced competitively, delighted all their work is paying off.

Romayos have popped up in the last couple years they seem to be buying out a lot the independent chippers or are they franchises.

I saw a huge romayos truck on the road before. There are 11 romayos in dublin now, there are 11 supermacs in dublin for comparison

Little Venevia take-away on Ballyogan Road appears to be shut down and is being re-opened as a San Marino takeaway.

Alot of these chipper chains such as San Marino and Romayos have popped up in the last couple years they seem to be buying out a lot the independent chippers or are they franchises.

I see their facebook page comes in for a bit of choice customer feedback. The menu is available there too (with NI prices though)
