Denny Street was wedged & the fireworks were unreal. It's the one thing they get right every year - the Christmas lights & fireworks.

Well done to anyone involved in subsidising and organising it.

There are fireworks in town this evening at 6pm. Some music and family fun starting at 5pm. Should be nice

Happy new year to you all!

I notice Tesco in Abbey Court now has signs calling it Tesco Express. A staff member told my mother "off the record" it means prices have now risen for lots of items as it's now considered a convenience store.

Tomorrow is Monday? ...... Where would one go? The online revenue is a joke of a site.

Sorry, I meant Monday week (no idea what day it even is! lol). Although they may be back at work on Thursday 2nd, but I'm not sure. You have to call them these days, they don't take any walk ins or appointments anymore, not for a long time now. Their online site is useless. There should be phone numbers on it though, so maybe call tomorrow just in case they are working.

Probably not until Monday. Don't think members of the public can just go in there anymore. I'm almost sure You have to ring now.

It looks like some shops may be opening late from tomorrow (Tuesday). I saw Ross Jewellers post up on fb that they will be open until 7pm tomorrow, and until 8pm Wed, Thurs, Fri, Mon.

If anyone wants to add more shops opening late this week, feel free!

Absolutely I never said I wasn’t local by shopping in Manor???

I would have liked to have spent my few quid however in the town centre for which we hear all too often is struggling.

Sometimes I think town centre business want everything handed to them on a silver platter!!!!

I thought I read that the chamber alliance were pushing that the town is open late? That's a bit mad for this week. No point them only opening late Thursday/Friday (which happens anyway for some shops)! And then no point them moaning that the town is quiet....

Did they say where Starbucks will be located in Tralee and when they open or is yet to be announced on Facebook? First I heard of it coming to Tralee. I didn't get to the town only to Manor West that day. Should have been a good Christmas vibe around in Tralee town.

It's in the old xtravision store in Manor... planning was applied for originally in March of last year...because of an objection... planning only granted in Feb this test ..and ttye had to reapply again due to a change

We're getting a Starbucks? Ah well, better coffee than Costa, I suppose.

Did anyone go down to the square on Saturday for the 'snow day' that was organised? I didn't make it down, but I heard it was quite good.

They opened up in Raheen, co. Limerick recently, and they are opening another two cafés in a Co-op Superstore in Midleton and Carrigaline, according to their facebook page.

Yes indeed, but they were tenders..cost less than the existing one for the Wetlands....the previous tenant of the Wetlands reckoned it took him nearly 3 years before he started turning a proper profit..
The KCC will have to seriously drop their price for anyone to take it on as a going concern I think

Good news. I understand it will also have a drive thru facility.

Speaking of cafes, KCC are seeking tenders to run the cafe at Wetlands. If a great and highly reputable restaurant like Ballyseedy couldn't profit from it, I can't see anyone else doing so. If say the location really struggles outside summer months and weekends...

I went by there yesterday and it was locked. Is the garden centre still operating?

Yeah they are still open. I saw the Wetlands mention they and the cafe were closing early on Sunday due to storm, so it must have been open over weekend. Ballyseedy have an ad in Kerry’s Eye and it mentions their Wetlands cafe. So not sure what’s going on.

Disappointed to hear that too. Thought it was doing quite well since Ballyseede took over. Was a bit quieter ok the last time I was there.

Disappointed here too, always was lively whenever we were there, but was always at a weekend, maybe it wasnt doing enough during the week to be viable.

We’ve done La Scala & Pizzatime recently so want somewhere else but I can’t think of anywhere.

Can’t go wrong with the Brogue Inn
