Subway is a franchaise as far as I know so I dont think they'd all shut down at once...

We'll find out soon enough anyway, they probably won't be on their own sadly.

Nope. This business has an outlet on O' Connell Street in Dublin (it's not Ann Summers!), and I think you'd almost know by looking at the shop that the chain is in trouble... I'm not saying any more because I can't identify the business in question for the moment anyway...

Uh oh, suddenly the thought of paying all those xtra vision debts is starting to look like a reality

They wipe them after so long then send you vouchers so you'll start renting again.

Not the wee doughnut making place - aw crap, i love the smell of that place.

The bloke who founded Chartbusters also founded Xtravision

And bankrupted it. He has form here.

ejmaztec · 09-01-2009 12:53AM

I await the opening of Xtrabusters in the near future.

Nope, actually the business is a franchise operation but the Irish headquarters/distribution end of the business is in major trouble as I understand it so the whole chain of outlets is in the manure business.

Are they food or not?

This is turning in Twenty Questions, Bankrupcy Edition.

I guess Burger King, although I believe most of its stores are owned by the master franchiser...

No, nothing to do with food.

Geri Boyle · 09-01-2009 01:00AM

Not eddie rockets?? The buffalo wings are to die for!!

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 09-01-2009 01:01AM

Well, if I was a guessing man.... I'd probably take a guess....

lisbon_lions · 09-01-2009 01:01AM

Not food, is a franchise, one is on Oconnell St.

Music perhaps?

its obvious the mystery franchise on o'connell st. is super macs. ummmm so nothing to do with food.

left or right hand side?

Last clue, it is on the same side of the street as the Savoy. That's all I'm saying! And it's not a Supermacs/Burger King/Food operation... It has outlets all around the country.

Gummy Panda · 09-01-2009 01:04AM

Sony centres i'd guess

L1011 · 09-01-2009 01:07AM

Ah yes, Sony Centres are a franchise jobbie... could very very well be. Market for big expensive electronics is gone and all.

I was going along the MSN Live birdseye view of the street trying to remember all the shops there!

Heraldoffreeent · 09-01-2009 01:10AM

Are sony centres not owned by peats?

L1011 · 09-01-2009 01:11AM

Peats own some of the stores; not the master franchise. According to Darragh whatever company it is has a dying master franchiser.

ShooterSF · 09-01-2009 01:11AM

Ha ha delighted. Take that ya hateful video rental crap hole! Harrased me for months accusing me of never returning movies to them but wouldnt tell me the movies as it was confidential :pac: Said I owed 200 quid and increasing in late fees. Sweet sweet karma.

RGDATA! · 09-01-2009 01:13AM

is it the happy ring house?

Snake Plisken · 09-01-2009 01:15AM

Well it will be a pain as Xtravision will have a monopoly, live in lucan and because Chartbuster used to do two new releases for 2 nights for €8 the Tescos Xtravision had to run the same deal that will deal now disappear

badabinbadaboom · 09-01-2009 01:22AM

Is the answer to the guessing game Golden Discs? I dont know if theres one on O' Connell street or not but I heard somewhere recently that the copany was in the red

Darragh29 · 09-01-2009 01:23AM

Doesn't sell musical products or rings...

thelordofcheese · 09-01-2009 01:25AM

Examinership does not mean what you think it means.

It's quite possible they'll survive this.

javaboy · 09-01-2009 01:29AM

Is it wearing glasses?
Could you fit it in your pocket?
How many syllables?
