Does anyone know if the fish shop at the ice box in the harbour has/will reopen somewhere?
Why did it close down?

When did it close?

Dun Laoghaire market at the People's Park has lost Drumeel Farm's Pat Cremin. No more muesli, nuts, spices or seeds.

It's not a burrito place it's a sushi/bento place called Fuji. Looks like it'll operate the upstairs.

I thought it said burrito bar but obviously not.

Planning was recently granted to demolish/rebuild the Tara Towers Hotel, it'll be replaced by a 4* Dalata Hotel and private apartments. Construction is starting this year.

Someone locally told a few weeks back that one of the local car retailers had bought the site which would fit with the above. I recall some entry in the Local Area Plan that said the last thing the area needed was more car retail space so I hope that won't be a feature of the long term development of the site. Would be surprised if it was in fairness.

+1 with the old Grange Motors premises (three showrooms) now split into Mooney Hyundai, Frank Keane VW and a TBA operator in the old Merc. showroom plus Windsor Nissan down the road, there's probably enough car retailing going on in the area.

all the cars are hyundai, they are owned by the hyundai garage across the road

Cheers, I'd probably have spotted that if I was pulling up to visit the Get Fresh fruit & veg. shop opposite but as it has now closed, I'm only ever passing in the car and didn't notice they were all Hyundais.

The former Twyford Motors site (previously a Statoil filling station) on Deansgrange Road has recently been filled up with secondhand cars. Someone then resurfaced the space in front of the premises next door and that is also now crammed with secondhand cars but as of yet, there's no signage to indicate who will be operating the business.

It's the two premises shown in this Streetview ..... They are related in the sense that in the 1990s the premises on the left was the Irish headquarters of a Russian oil company called Conoco which sold motor fuels retail under the brand name 'Jet', the filling station next door was one of theirs before the Irish business was bought by Statoil.

A new gardening supply store is apparently opening in Blackrock Shopping Centre soon. It's at the old Ken's newsagents.

Possibly correct as info I have is simply that Decathlon's first store will be in Carrickmines - possibly its something like what power city did and they will build a standalone store.

I know sportsdirect own heatons and many are saying it is being turned into a sports direct store in its entirety.

However, there is a strong rumour in property circles that Decathlon has taken the store.

Moo's burritos has closed on George's St in Dun Laoghaire. Don't think it even lasted a year but can't say I'm complete surprised. It wasn't a good location for a burrito bar and they had strange opening hours - they closed at 7pm. Or maybe people have just reached burrito saturation point.

You have to look at Starbucks sometimes and wonder what they are thinking.

I think it has more to do with the fact that there was another bigger Starbucks right across the road. Starbucks are growing in Ireland not shrinking. But I agree you'd have to wonder what they're thinking opening to cafes on the same street in Dun Laoghaire.

I believe George Davis is behind the clothing. This is the man that created Next, them moved to Asda to create the George brand and now it looks like he is teaming up with Dealz.

Nope, Andy Bond former ceo of Asda is heading up the rollout of Pep and co. on behalf of its owners

Its an offshoot of Pep Stores in south africa and the overall owner of both dealz/poundland and pep is Steinhoff who operate dozens of retail formats and have about 20,000 stores http://www.steinhoffinternational.com/

I thought I was just posting about a new 'opening' in Dublin South County and did not merit a separate title?. Yes the district is well served but this one seems the largest of the ones I am familiar with and rolling out their new policy of stocking clothing.

Parking your car around that area is probably becoming a little bit more harder now. Blackrock SC's car park exit barriers out to Frascati Rd had closed recently because the road boundary outside the new office block for Zurich group is now a building site. You can't exit your car up through the ramp from underneath the SC now which could be like that for a considerable period of time. I walked past that exit today and it's now shut for builders & site managers only.

I don't go into Frascati very much but I have to say the car park in Blackrock SC is a complete nightmare which I avoid at all costs even if you do manage to squeeze into a spot your car will probably end up with a dent of some sort.

Agree 100% - my wife was complaining like mad about the place a week or so ago.
I think Blackrock would have lost a good few patrons over this, only Stillorgan is equally as bad !
