I go to the Ugly Mug in town mostly, they sell Badger & Dodo coffee which is really nice. If in Manor we would get a coffee in Costa or the Bookshelf.

According to the link below, his objection was around insufficient parking in the area.....er hello, there's a vacant site for parking in front of Debenhams that's always empty apart from maybe the week before Christmas. Sounds like a competitor not happy with new competition and dressing it up as concern for the locality (similar to RGDATA objecting to every Lidl and Aldi that is proposed)http://www.pleanala.ie/casenum/302891.htm

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!
