The new look revamped store will open during the summer. Also, I see An Bord Pleanala have given permission to change the old Xtravision unit in Manor West to be a cafe and dismissed objections by third parties. I believe it is Starbucks who are behind the this application. Finally, the Tralee Chamber Alliance and town council have written to Dunnes Stores CEO Margaret Heffernan to complain about their long vacant store in the town centre lying idle and asked that her company either sell it, re-open it or do something proactive with it. Unlikely to find any sympathy from profit at whatever cost Dunnes but hopefully something might happen!
