However I would agree there is no need for it. Ballyseedy garden center is only out the road. Between local nurseries, flower shops, woodies etc, this market is well covered. It will only lead to the closure of smaller retailers around the town so Kerry county council should reconsider.

Can't see how it would be viable.

However they do have a Lucky charms cereal which are very hard to get. Yum yum. I wonder sometimes how Mr Price can sell a bottle of Volvic water for 50cent yet an Applegreen is 2 euro. How do they get away with it along with Circle K,spars,centra etc. Why do we continue to shop in these stores.

It seems to be the Irish version of the UK store B&M as I could see their labels on a lot of stock. The juice bar in Manor shopping centre is closed down. I hadn’t heard anything about it being gone.

It won’t be called the ugly mug though, think it’s called the Glasshouse, but same owners. They are due to open this month. He will have more seating and do more food. That place in courthouse lane was previously briefly called Lost Society. One of the guys from that place is working in Syphon.

It definitely has the makings and vibe of some place you'd go in the evening too for a drink etc. Loving all these independent, experimental places opening up around the town. Cheese Shop at back of Garda station also another cool place to visit for great coffee and unusual dishes/treats. PS - I finally tried out Ugly Mug on a recent visit home but only because we got a seat. We had to turn away the last few times we attempted as all seats were always taken (good complaint I'm sure for the owners but could definitely do with a larger space). I enjoyed the food and vibe so would go back again.

I think they plan to open in the evenings, doing cocktails. Not sure when that's happening yet. The guy who was running Roundy's up until recently, Stuart, is behind it.
