New Businesses opening in Dublin 15

ongarboy

MOD NOTE: This thread is for announcements/discussion of new businesses in our area.

I know this was discussed in the new Facebook data centre in Clonee thread but I didn't want to drag that thread too much off topic. I just spotted this article detailing Maxol's largest service station that is going up on the M3.

Mods - is it worth having a general New Businesses opening in D15 thread where any new business/restaurant/shop in the pipeline etc can be discussed or people can provide heads ups etc. I know similar threads operate in other regional forums and are very active and high view count. I think one was created just for the Blanch SC recently in this forum but perhaps a wider D15 thread?

Anybody know whats happening with the Nespresso stand in Blanchardstown Centre - any time I am up there recently it seems to be covered over with nobody on counter (although the glass is still showing).

Is it closed?

Next to Krispy Kreme in what used to be Esquires coffee shop

Well I’ve been waiting all summer for it, I can wait a bit longer cause I ain’t queuing! Lol

miamee

Hopefully there won't be Krispy Kreme style queues for it when it opens 😂

Seve OB

Delighted to hear Bunsen is making moves. Been waiting ages for it! 😋

I see Shoeaholics (apparently a discount retailer of Kurt Geiger and possibly other branded shoes - quite a few stores in UK seemingly) is advertising for staff for a new store in Blanchardstown. Not sure if this is in the SC itself or one of the retail parks.

Last time I walked poast here a few days ago there was a lot of noise coming from inside so hopefully the new Bunsen is well on the way!

Tried Smash-It burger at Hartstown Eurospar today. It runs from a food van in the car park.

Probably the best burger I've had in a long time, better than Bunsen, Bojum or Five Guys.

Well worth the trip.

Yeah, I use that regularly enough too, but given it's location it's not as handy to take a spin to from the office compared to Ballycoolin, especially with the traffic you have to navigate there and back.

I walked past what is supposed to be Bunsen and there is some drilling going on inside this morning, could be workiing on the interior for them now.

Insomnia also have a drive thru at junction 6 if you're looking for an alternative

I heard a few weeks ago there is some issue with the roof of the Greyhound and that needs to be fixed before it re-opens, haven't seen any work being done so not sure how true that is

Is it replacing Insomnia? PITA if it is, I always use the drive through and went into it the other week to find it closed and shop fitters in the place assuming they were doing something with it, thought it was a bit soon to have to renovate it.

The thing with nearly every one of those is that they all either were originally, or ended up being, kips by the time they closed. Which isn't a great reflection on the area unfortunately.

Budda bar had someone stabbed to death outside it. Plus it was literally sinking (?) from the time it opened.

Shanty was a very dodgy pub.

Greyhound went downhill quite quickly after it change ownership unfortunately.

Dolly's was a nice pub. A shame it closed, but maybe the location had something to do with that? A bit out of the way for a lot of people I'd imagine, especially in comparison to some of the aforementioned pubs being rivals for clientele.

The greyhound is slap bang in the middle of Blanchards town village. It's a shame that someone couldn't take over and make a nice pub of it.

So is it gone for good, on the market to be re opened as a pub, what?

Between the Greyhound, the Shanty, Buda Bar, Dolly Heffernan's, the pub that used to be in Tyrellstown, Heaven nightclub, for a continuously growing area Blanch has lost quite a few drinking establishments while the area continued to grow.

Agree. It's an awful waste of what could potentially be a very nice pub if looked after. Get rid of the late license and strip it back to being a traditional pub.

That day though was near 20 years ago

Is the Greyhound pub permanently closed now? Was down the village for the first time in ages, looks very derelict. Shame really, was a cracking boozer in its day.

What a great service you offer Larbre34 😄 I always forget about the Supermacs in Mulhuddart - probably for the best!

Larbre34

Since the arrival of Supermacs and Krispy Kreme in recent years, I have begun to spread. However, I will try out BK, just to make sure it safe for the rest of you.

Burger King drive thru opening in Maxol Ballycoolin as part of a €1million upgrade of the petrol station site.

Looks like the new JD Sports is now open

Reed Footcare Clinic opening soon beside SuperValu Blanch.

I remember a Saturday Night Live sketch about them to the effect that they are clothes for people that have given up, something to wear in preference to public nudity. The fit was always terrible tbf.

I remember going to America years ago back in the 90s and getting GAP clothes was always a big thing and you'd have people at home asking you to pick up something there for them. Since they opened in Ireland, I never found their clothes appealing. They seemed very safe and boring.

GAP has announced the closure of all UK and Ireland physical stores, moving online only. So that'll be a large empty unit in Westend in due course.

They were doing some work on it over the last few days so it should be ready to go for opening today.

Was in Westend earlier and saw that Wetherspoons was open and busy. The beer garden becomes a decent suntrap in the evenings.
