We need Ikea in Athlone, it would be quicker for the rest of the country to get there rather than having to travel to the east.

- Dunkin doughnuts - though there may be a few around if someone could inform me

- Taco Bell -

I wouldn't be all that excited to see any of the big international chains coming to Ireland. The UK is a bland sea of chain stores, pubs and restaurants. Whenever I travel throughout the UK it feels like I haven't moved at all because everywhere you go it's the exact same shops in the exact same buildings.

Coffeeshops I'm all for though.

Globalisation - down with that sort of thing! I hate the idea of the generic Main Street where every town has the same shops and there's no individualism.

Maoz falafel

Every second shop is an Insomnia ?

There was one in Dublin and Limerick. Both closed down. By the way things are going I'd say we'd have more chance of Krispy Kremes at this rate. Tim Hortons are ok...you can get them in Spar.

dunkin donuts

jimthemental · 11-10-2011 10:49AM

Off licenses, pawn shops and Mrs. Quinn's Charity stores. You make your money in the second two and then spend it in the first before going home to watch Jeremy Kyle therefore taking your mind off of your unemployment.

Book shops, both new and second hand - fast disappearing from our streets.
