    id say your being very very harsh there judgement. On the whole wexford is presented beautifully. Nice streets and clean and tidy. Only exception at the moment is south main street which is under renovation at the moment. If your talking about shopping i dread to list what what you wouldnt find in enniscorthy. If its markets your looking for we have a massive one out by mcdonalds, indoor too in case its raining, corn market christmas wonderland and the small farmers market which is set up in a small part of a busy carpark. Im sure if there was more farmers in wexford the market would be bigger. Seems like there is more farming demand in enniscorthy :) (i jest) it would be nice to see a big farmers market on our award winning quayfront id agree. Our shops arent clustered in a small place because wexford is bigger than enniscorthy and therefore services alot more people and is more spreadout.(its the price we have to pay for being our counties capital).

    The main streets golden mile is full of shops so scratching my head on that one and id think if you stood on the hill in enniscorthy you'd be lucky not to be blown away completely. Sour grapes i reccon ;p now is that the chant of 'fight fight fight' i hear? I better get out of here before teacher comes :))

    It is a discount store but is better than the usual €2 shops with some great value to be had-The one in Enniscorthy is doing great business.
    I got tins of Dulux paint there recently for only €7.99,the same ones are around €25 anywhere else.

    I was only just saying after a recent visit on how well the town looks and really how good it is for shopping, in particular clothes shops, has great clothing shops for men, womens (boutiques etc) and for children, really plenty to choose from.

    On the Wexford!! , I think anything you need is in town and there isn't any need to buy outside of town TBH, think even electrical goods, bookshops, handmade chocolates as examples - all covered.

    The Christmas market is really good, heard Santa is excellent there.

    Well done Wexford.

    Anyone know when the Wexford one is opening, will be back soon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 293 ✭✭WexfordWarrior


    was up at Mr.Price there yesterday and all the signage etc is up...still not open but seen people in there finishing off stacking the shelves etc...big store!!!

    id say itll be a good spot...i was in the one in enniscorthy when it opened and was a little disappointed to be honest but they still had some ok deals... hopefully this one will be better...plenty of room in there anyway thats for sure but most of the shelves were stocked yesterday and it looked like they were just finishing off the rest... has to be open soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,707 ✭✭✭Corvo


    Far too many boutiques in this town! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,090 ✭✭✭RadioRetro


    When a shop of whatever trade closes it re-opens as a boutique. Place is overrun with them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,707 ✭✭✭Corvo


    Well they must be making money, because they just keep springing up.

    Nothing worse than when you hear of a place opening up in town, get your hopes up and then it turns out to be "Claires Ladies Shoelaces"...

    Jesus Christ! :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 293 ✭✭WexfordWarrior


    yep...we need more mens clothes shops... a H&M, river island etc would be ok too.

    I read a while ago M&S were going into tralee or killarney... lets hope they move to other towns of a similar size ...a-hem!

    Wexford "City" as i keep hearing more and more these days! :)

    Agree, M&S would be fantastic. Doubt it would ever make its way down here though, Tesco seems to be too dominant. Then again, if it can make it in Tralee, I leave it so. I'd rather open it in the Gaza Strip.

    Off the top of my head I can only think of about 5-6 shops that would interest me in this town - JackJones, Trade Winds, Charles Pierce, Book Centre, XtraVision. BPM was another favourite but thats been done away with. Seriously, if you want to go shopping you have to either go Dublin or the like. Horrendous.

    Closed as far as I know. The shop was replaced by the educational toy shop but I saw this weekend that that has closed too!

    United Colours of Beneton at the bullring is also having a closing down sale atm.

    Updates;

    Noticed that bin bags are being used to screen the window and work is going on within Allure, the former lingerie shop in Henrietta Street, so looks like a new business on the way.

    Also shelving was being moved this morning into the long-time empty retail unit between the shoe shop and hairdresser's in South Main Street opposite Doyle's Bookmakers, and work was going on inside kitting it out.

    And the Fun Palace opened on the Quay in the former Joyce's store last Monday (13th).

    O'Neil's shop on the main street opposite the Book Centre is moving across the road to where Marlows cleaners used to be. Was told this by Mrs O'Neil yesterday.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,090 ✭✭✭RadioRetro


    Moved yesterday, kmurph, and the new shop in SMS IS O'Neill's, the replacement to the one at the corner of King Street which has closed. Both shops moved on the one day? Strange.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭Mocrie14


    Home Stores and More - just opened opposite Joyces. Great addition to Wexford....badly needed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,754 ✭✭✭oldyouth


    Nice shop alright. It has a lot of useful stuff. Not the cheapest though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,173 ✭✭✭lolli


    Go nuts for donuts in Courtown does the most gorgeous donuts and crepes I have ever had. Yum yum. Its only open a few weeks beside flanagans warf.

    Scup ice cream parlour opened in the old cornmarket entrance on the main street, dreams - tea and spice shop opened where the O.C. used to be and just up from there a new shop selling coffee's/tea's/ shakes and pastrys for take away, europrice on the main street where adams kids used to be has opened, south 51 renamed to the Tavern, coleman doyles petshop has moved a few doors up and work going on in his old pet shop premises i think for the chinese restaurant beside, permanent tsb have moved to where wrights insurance was and voila has opened on the main street where robe used to be AND Corrys is finally up for sale !

    it will be interesting to see if there is any takers.... lets hope someone does and somthing good goes in there... we need someone like H&M or a River Island type of thing going on in there.

    I was in clonmel recently...shocked to find an M&S up there and all sorts... Clonmel has a smaller population than wexford going so lets see what happens. it'll be interesting anyway.

    I agree, something like a H&M or Next would be great for Wexford!


  • Registered Users Posts: 293 ✭✭WexfordWarrior


    Corries is a massive store as well... i remember being inside years ago and it has 3 floors of space and like it says in the ad... double frontage on to the main street as well as an alternative entrance/exit onto mallon street at the back where the brand spanking new library will be unvieled and en-route to the opera house as well... that is some crazy footfall oppertunity and also it will always be in peoples faces no matter what direction you take...

    hopefully a big store takes it on!

    The work beside the Lotus House is for an off-licence.

    Permanent TSB have taken up the ground and first floors of the old Arachas/Wrights building, while Wrights Insurance Brokers occupy the 2nd floor.

    Where is the tea and spice shop?

    I also notice a new cafe - Cream on Henrietta street

    Agree with the thoughts on M&S. Would be a fantastic addition and would rival Tesco for choice of goods


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,090 ✭✭✭RadioRetro


    Forgot to update but ex-Allure on Henrietta Street is a new hairdresser's, work has been going on in fits and starts on the former FAS office opposite, the graphic designer place is empty and undergoing renovations.

    There's a recently opened tattoo parlour opposite Buggy's Sports on Cinema Lane.

    Re. the former pet shop next to the Lotus House, Griffin1988, are you sure it's for another offie? LH previously had planning permission application in their window stating they intended to expand into that unit.

    It will be their expansion. They will own the offie. Strange, with the Carryout across the way and the supermarket (mainly Tesco) cleaning up.

    I hear there has been some heat from the authorities regarding it being built, due to the already many youngsters who hang around that area looking for drink.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 211 ✭✭00011000


    Lotus House is interested in the delivery of alcohol to people's homes along with their takeaway. Lotus needed their own off licence in order to provide this service to customers.

    The issue brought up in court today was only on this.

    Does anyone have any views on this?

    Yeh, will they sell it as cheap as Tesco ?:rolleyes: Hardly

    Exactly. Would rather walk up and grab a crate and walk home with it!

    Plus, you can guarantee that the whole point of them selling drink with it would be the nice mark-up on it. For instance, if you are sitting at home and feel too lazy to cook something and want a few beers, you might take the extra hit on the price simply because it would be delivered right to you.

    Also, would this not cause huge problems regarding under-age drinking? Will the delivery man be arsed asking for ID?

    Hi, I'm actually the owner of this business and the whole point of alcohol deliveries is to drive food sales. Our customers always ask for us to deliver drink with their takeaways. We're just trying to legitimise it. We will be price matching all the competitors and probably even undercut them because the drink will be subsidised by the food.

    There are no margins in offies really. Could be cheaper than Tesco if bought with food.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 211 ✭✭00011000


    We outlined in court how we're going to equip every delivery driver with an iPhone with 3G connection so they can take pictures of people's IDs if suspected of being fake or underage. We're being 100% compliant with the guards.

    That's our solution. And it could work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    Wish you the best with your venture.

    If the point is to have added value to the food you sell then it's a good plan but charge more as it's a convenience to get alcohol with your food delivered - then I imagine it will have a limited lifespan.

    If the alcohol is competitively priced then I see a market for it, I'd order a 6 pack with my dinner no problem, if the price was right.

    How do the likes of Tesco work on the ID thing on delivery for alcohol at the door, and Supervalu and anyone else that offers delivery service, worth sussing out how they do it?

    Also, Can you 100% ensure your drivers won't be doing favours for their neighbours etc on the age issue?

    I got a crate delivered from tesco's before & driver asked for ID, said they have to ask regardless

    Thanks. :)

    The point of this venture is most certainly to add value to our food, we have been and will always remain true to the core of food. But me, as a consumer thinks alcohol is too expensive. I'm only 28 and there's so many times I wish I could get alcohol delivered to me or would prefer not to walk, or drive!

    I obviously need to make a little bit to run the service, so I'm adding 9% to the price of alcohol that's to be delivered.

    €10 - bottle of wine
    €.90c - 9% handling charge
    €2 - local delivery
    ___
    €12.90 to have your alcohol delivered.

    We'll even waive the 9% if you order €20 or more in food. Essentially delivering your alcohol for free if you buy food.

    (I'd be interested in hearing anybody else's pricing strategies to make this work and be fair to everyone - mine is still a work in progress)

    I have lots of ideas to keep the prices low. My ambition is to create a service any adult can use.

    The court reacted badly to my idea. I got all objectors out of the way, fire officer, guards... but the judge has "serious concerns" about delivering alcohol to people's homes. (onlookers told me he didn't understand my ID check idea)

    They want to grant me the licence with the condition that I can't deliver it.
    (according to the barrister)

    My barrister advised me I will have to tell the judge I won't do deliveries and I'll get the licence. (but signing away my right to do so as well)

    My licence broker says get the licence first, say you won't deliver, and deliver anyway 6 months down the line.

    I can't really agree to not doing it if everybody else can. There's no law against it.

    Quick reply to the the idea of saying you wont deliver and then go ahead and do it - I think the Gardai would take a very dim view if they find out you are delivering alcohol after undertaking not to. Licence renewal will be next to impossible. A problem could easily arise if there was a dispute over age or something on delivery so the Gardai will find out - especially when you deliver their dinners with wine to them ;):)

    Personally I would want everyone happy or it's not a runner. Though if others can do it then I can't see why you shouldn't be allowed.

    Me too. I tried making everyone happy and sticking to the legislation by even getting a whole new building for it. And I'm not breaking any laws. It shouldn't be like this, so I think I'll have to fight it.

    I don't see why if Tesco et al can deliver on their off licence licence(!) that you can't. Let us all know how you get on. Good luck.

    I will let you know how I got on. I'm feeling positive enough about it after giving a few people a call earlier.

    They are blowing this whole thing out of proportion because they are bombarded with it in the news. They shouldn't treat me any differently.

    I appreciate all the support. :o

    Yes I agree that the bad news in the media at the moment is not going to help your case, but as I say, if Tesco et al can do it I don't see why you can't.

    PS - You have the best Chicken Fried Rice in town, but I note it decreased in size the last couple times I was down and I bought it ;) Ahem !! :)

    have literally just ordered from you, would have loved a bottle of wine to go with it, cos iv nothing in!

    Fight for it!

    Say if they ordered booze with food, you only accept card payments, and to have Photo ID ready with the same name as card used.

    It really bugs me how this town is so backward thinking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 534 ✭✭✭movingsucks


    Howdy! I am a new blowin from Dublin.
    Anyhoo we used to get wine delivered with our takeaway from Mirchi in Malahide and we also used to do Dial-a-can from Graingers in Baldoyle, as well as getting alcohol from Superquinn and Tesco delivered. The Marble Arch in Drimnagh used to deliver too so I don't see why it should be a big deal.

    The ID situation really shouldnt be any different than buying it in an offy, the person who takes the delivery needs to show a valid ID. If theres one person who's 18 and the rest of the house is full of kids how is it any different than the same 18 year old going to the off licence/supermarket and buying it for their mates?

    Anyway good luck with your venture :)

    oh just thought , you could have a limit on how much can be delivered ie someone can't order a bag of prawn crackers and a slab of beer. It might keep the hand wringers happy !

    Howdy! I am a new blowin from Dublin.
    Anyhoo we used to get wine delivered with our takeaway from Mirchi in Malahide and we also used to do Dial-a-can from Graingers in Baldoyle, as well as getting alcohol from Superquinn and Tesco delivered. The Marble Arch in Drimnagh used to deliver too so I don't see why it should be a big deal.

    The ID situation really shouldnt be any different than buying it in an offy, the person who takes the delivery needs to show a valid ID.
