Grew up in Crumlin, we used to go there every week. Used to draw in customers from all over, but as other areas got their own centres in the 80s/90s this would have dropped off (Dunnes opening in Ashleaf wouldn't have helped, either). Bizarre how Dunnes were happy to spend years running the centre into the ground, you'd think they'd prefer to let out units short term to attract custom to the centre, instead of leaving them empty. (The landlords of "pop up shops" don't seem to have any issues turfing these guys out when their time is up)
Surprised that they're keeping one corner of the existing building, it'll probably look out of place compared to the rest.
Hopefully something will be done with the former pool/gym too.
One year coming up to Christmas, someone had a stall selling helium filled balloons near the pyramid shaped structure, I'd never seen helium filled balloons before (early 80s). After a while it looked like half the fecking balloons were stuck onto the ceiling under the pyramid! Imagine the wailing kids and exasperated parents, "No yer not gettin' another feckin' balloon, now shurrup!"
Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

Couldn't they have given Tesco (formerly Crazy Prices, formerly Quinnsworth, formerly Power Supermarkets
) notice that their lease would not be renewed at the next review? It seems weird to give a commercial tenant an indefinite right to renew, they might as well have a freehold in that case - so the landlord's only option is to whack up the rent to a silly level, if the lease even allows that...
What we're now witnessing is the culmination of a 45-year-long power struggle between the two biggest supermarket groups in the country. Dunnes play the long game, that's for sure...As goes leaving the southern bit of the structure - that was the plan but Dunnes have since taken over the Molloys there which is the unit at the end and the entire top floor. That would suggest they're intending to get rid of it too.
Hmm is there a new planning application does anyone know?
Edit: does anyone know if it's possible to run a self-contained off licence and a self-contained upstairs pub on the one licence? Many Molloys and other offies bought up a pub licence so they could open, I'm just wondering if a pub and an offie which share the same footprint but are effectively separate businesses could share a licence.
Did the pub over the off-licence have two floors? it looks like the structure has two above ground floors. Despite living not that far away I never set foot in Baron Johns or its other incarnations.Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island.

To my knowledge they were using both tactics .
I know from talking to the people involved that in the small newsagent at the crumlin road entrance that in their case it was putting up the rent to a silly level ( and IIRC he knew they had done similar to others before him ) .
As for Tuthills and Eurogiant was told by people in those shops that they wouldn't renew their leases , Tuthills apparently asked could we move unit and were told no .
As for Tesco word was their lease ran out and Dunnes was going to move into the unit though the Dunnes move happened a lot more slower than expected0 -

Its a long time now but I think Baron Johns was just on the one level over the off licence, and former Mr.Donut shop.0 -
