Limerick Businesses Closed V 3.0

It's a real shame. I much prefer O'Mahony's for books but always used Eason's for magazines, cards, stationery, etc but in the last few years, they seem to have given up.

I normally agree you Breezy, but unfortunately Leod is right. Actually, I expect Easons to lease this shop, which they own, to a franchisee like in the Parkway and the Crescent and allow someone who's interested in making a go of it, to do so. A great location, great potential. Look at their neighbours Keane's Jewellers, with an enormous expansion.

Easons sold all their buildings ( apart from Dublin O'Connell Street and one or two more) a few years back, probably as a premeptive ' get the money now' move. The Parkway used to be an Eason franchise but isnt anymore. Again,. like many others on Cruises Street, the ground floor space is probably too small. Big basement, upstairs long shut.

16th Jan is the last new post I can see when I open the topic even though the topics list indicates all is ok:

Duplicate post. In area of bad reception so send button playing tricks on me! 😊

Look at all the magazine publications that have stopped publishing like FHM,Maxim Gamemaster & others all online now sure. havent been in easons in town in years. is top floor gone now.

Top floor is gone. And the demise of magazines and traditional print media is definitely a major issue for retailers that rely on those products to draw customers in. Not sure if Eason's are making enough of an effort to pivot their business away from stationery. And on the day that Amazon.ie has launched, the future of Irish 'high street' retailers has probably been dealt another blow.

It is still cheaper order from amazon uk. they increased all the prices now on amazon.ie even dulled down the amazon prime a bit. wont make much of a difference

That leave mckennas if you want any hardware without heading to the suburbs.

Always felt they should have stayed in the smaller unit

Tony Clarke's on Thomas Street ( schoolbooks) apparently closing next month.
