Id guess the shop on O Connel St that Darragh is talking about is Clearys. Not a very busy Christmas + stock they cant shift in the furniture department + what must be some of the highest shop rent rates in Europe = Fail.

Nope, not Clearys....

What? In the Blachardstown centre alone there are 4 that i can think of!

1 Retail park beside mammas and pappas
2 Beside the leisureplex
3 The Red Mall
4 In Borders in Westend retail park!

Some more I can think of that i've seen

Blackrock village, Airport, Dundrum Shopping centre, Mespil road, Ballsbridge, Hartcourt street, Dorset St, I'm not in the city that much but i'm sure that there is more!!!
Is that not a bad amount of branches for a company that is only here a wet week that's not franchised!

More than I thought,suppose as I'm in London a bit sort of comapring to there where their seems to be at least one on every street if not two and three.

Just out of the blue here; but is it Burger King?

kaiser soza · 10-01-2009 02:01AM

Is it Budget Travel, as that is the only other well known business on that side of O'Connell street.

Darragh29 · 10-01-2009 02:09AM

Nope...

drunkmonkey · 10-01-2009 02:34AM

is the Sony center sill open on O'Connell street? seems a likley canidate...

K-9 · 10-01-2009 02:35AM

At this rate we'll still be guessing after it has closed, Nobody will know it isn't there anymore!

drunkmonkey · 10-01-2009 02:39AM

i'll notice if burger king isn't there anymore....probably take my business to hillbillys in cork if it closed down..

They own the shop

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...

Clarks

If not, must be Burger King

Johnny Utah · 10-01-2009 02:54AM

Is it the GPO? That must be it- An Post has "shops" all over the country.

Johnny Utah · 10-01-2009 02:55AM

Or, it could be Quinn Direct, or the pharmacy (can't remember the name of it)

EDIT: Or maybe it's burger king?

earlyevening · 10-01-2009 12:30PM

Maybe its that Smiles dental place? Big rent overheads I imagine...has to be in trouble???

Darragh29 · 10-01-2009 01:42PM

If ye start at the Savoy and walk down as far as O' Connell Bridge, you'd have passed this outlet and to be honest, you'd kind of almost be able to guess that it is in trouble if you look at it logically.

Whats with all the cryptic stuff.
Spit it out, or stay quiet.

jiltloop · 10-01-2009 01:45PM

I'd have to guess either the sony centre or anne summers

Dyr · 10-01-2009 01:50PM

Its the internet cafe with the donut shop isnt it?

You're forgetting the one in UCI Cinemas too! Comparatively very few in central Dublin, there is Dame Street, Dawson Street, and BT2's Grafton Street but nothing in the north inner city.

bren2002 · 10-01-2009 01:57PM

Kilkenny Shop, 1 of the coffee chains (Java, Sol, Insomnia)

bren2002 · 10-01-2009 02:01PM

Also that new Tommy Hilfiger shop on Grafton St.

Kintarō Hattori · 10-01-2009 02:04PM

Is it Spar? I was meeting someone on O'Connell street this morning and as I was walking along I was looking at the shops trying to figure out which it might be.

Shiny · 10-01-2009 02:24PM

Is it the shop in this pic behind the tree between Best and Abra?

Its one of those shops that sells irish gifts and there must
be around 20 of them around the country in all the touristy
spots?

Seems like a likely target?

It's Caddles

sneakerfreak · 10-01-2009 02:28PM

Clearys

sure they had to put DID in their store to help get more customers in etc
