John Lewis (probably less likely) is also being rumoured. I'd say isint all that likely either Forever 21. Heatons or Sports Direct or both as they all owned by Ashley. TK Maxx is realistic enough too

I've heard that it could be Uniqlo making their first move into Ireland. If they did a re-release of their Orla Kiely collaboration they'd probably cover their costs on day 1

Any update on the rumours of which retailer is going into the Dun Laoghaire SC?

TKMaxx seems to be the popular one but I've also heard Heatons (which wouldn't be great tbh) & Forever 21

Never ceases to amaze me how so much money gets poured into new restaurants yet the failure rate is so high.

In fairness the same could be said about all new buisnesses not just restaurants but shops aswell.

It obviously makes to open up new restaurants where there was another one previously located as a lot of the equipment will already be in place. All money really goes into decoration the premises

The reason could down to fact there is hype when new restaurant opens up if it gets a good write up in a paper then this is increased. It's novelty at first which eventually dies off.

Restaurants owners probably get short term leases and then realise when lease is up and the price is upped it's not really worth their while.

At the very other end of Dun Laoghaire, the old McGovern's premises (most recently the Dun Laoghaire Pharmacy), is becoming a new office for Haines property management.

No, we went there for lunch at least once a week so a few weeks ago when it wasn't open we emailed and they confirmed it is closed for good

Cafe Q

Happy to see a new cafe open but just wonder is there really a market for another one in that area? There's at least 4 others within a 3 minute walk. Thought there might be an angle but it looks like coffees pastries and sandwiches

Kyoto Asian Street Food has opened on Patrick St

Visited today and it's a thumbs up from me: nice food, very fresh and flavoursome. Nice interior with both small and communal tables if you want to sit down. They have a lunch special when you get a main dish, a can and an ice cream cone (that you make yourself) for a tenner. Was packed lunch time.

I presume they are starting the initial works for the redevelopment. It needs a bit of a refresh to be fair.

Yes, Anytime I've ever visited an FCUK, they always seem to be deserted, the clothes overpriced even in sales, and the clothes never really that appealing...for men anyway. Would have thought the Dundrum store would have outlasted the Blanch one which is permanently empty of customers.

Edit - I see in today's Irish Times, they are closing their Blanchardstown and Cork outlets too - I'd say only the one in the Powerscourt centre in town will remain at that rate.
