Work going on in the old Benetton unit so that's my bet. The Tralee store will be small IMO, only a fraction of the size of their flagship stores.

It will more than likely be selling vinyl only, thats the model they have been growing the last year or two

If they want to go out of business in two hours yes! They'll certainly sell vinyl due to it's increasing popularity but they will obviously sell CDs, DVDs etc like all their other stores too. They'd be foolish not to!

Just walked through the town centre and noticed the lights out and shutters down in The Phone Depot.....

Lots of vacant buildings there in around Bridge Street. Sad. That's right in the heart of the town. What's that McQuinns there. Was that a bar or something one time? Looks like it'd be a lovely bar.

No your right, I thought you were asking about the phone depot place

There was a clothes shop around there at one time called 'New Gent', I think the owner was Nugent!
On Phone Depot, rather unusual to close for a few days for 'Staff Training' I would have thought!

And if you were even older, before New Gent it was Mr. Hipps

New Gent was a great play on words but so also was Mr. Hipps. HP = Hire Purchase, their business model was to secure with a small deposit and pay back over several months.

I fondly remember buying my first pair of Levi 501’s on tick from HIPPS. I used to call down every week and pay a £1 off my account.

Nope, not with me either!

I'm thankfully too young to remember but it's the unit between Quinlans fish shop and Pandora.

I do remember NewGent though, bought my first interview suit there.

Gas how clothes have become so inexpensive and disposable now. Imagine paying off a pair of jeans via hire purchase nowadays!

I remember putting a deposit on a dress in (wait for it....) Gaywear!

Actually, now I think of it, it was a white jumpsuit.

I haven't a clue either.

I don't know how long Mr Hipps was there but I would say it was definitely there around early 60s and I would guess changed to New Gent in maybe mid to late 80s. I really feel that shop was there when I was going to school

I have a very vague recollection of Gaywear. Was it in Castle Street?

My days of putting down deposits for clothes was in Shindig! The excite,ent when it was paid off. Shindig are celebrating 30 years in business now! Where have those years gone?? Scary! :eek:

I was so much older then - I'm younger than that now.

Work going on in the old Jack & Jones unit. So possibly where Golden disks are going after all.

That would be a good spot for it

There was a climate protest in today circling the pedestrian crossings by the huddle. Ironically slowing traffic on an already tight roundabout. There were more gards there than protesters and not many of them looked like they took time off work to take part.

Yes. Some of the same faces there today that were out for the same sex marriage/abortion protests. You just need to convince a few to help push through the agenda of the day.
