It is one of lifes great mystery’s how a Boojum or Tolteca have never opened in Blanch. They would make a killing.

Boojum would clean up

Boojum did try with a popup a few years ago, and I'd have expected this to be testing the water to see how much draw they might get long term, but nothing more permanent came of it. Of course perhaps they didn't get to operate that for as long as they would have liked due to shortcomings in the operating conditions: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/food-businesses-closed-over-cockroaches-and-human-excrement-1.3349620

Health inspectors who examined the Boojum food stall in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre on December 1st found there was no hot or cold running water and that raw meat and ready-to-eat foods were prepared and served on the premises.

Also, looking at the distribution of their premises in Dublin, they're all clustered very close to the city centre, so maybe they don't want to have to manage premises further out at the present moment.

That is all we are missing. Only a matter of time at this rate before Boojum pops up. Would prefer Pablo Picante, but that is not going to happen

Boojum had the van outside Blanchardstown SS last year at the start or middle of the lockdown.

Decent queues. Everyone was hoping it was market research for opening in Blanch.

I admit to trying a few orders myself.

But is it exciting and dynamic enough long term or does it become meh?

OK, but how come the 457 mostly mediocre Chinese takeaways located in Dublin 15 are all exciting and dynamic enough to be sustained in the long term but a single burrito bar wouldn't be for a catchment area population of about 100,000 people with high youth percentage (ie target market for burritos)?

Zaph · 27-04-2021 6:50pm

Just read that Bujo will be located at Junction 6. Their focus will be on drive through click and collect.

I walked by Boojum in Smithfield Square at 11am Sunday gone. There was literally like 15 Deliveroo drivers waiting outside, which tells you all you need to know about burrito demand!

Phil.x · 27-04-2021 7:56pm

What's a burrito?

liamog · 27-04-2021 8:01pm

I've taken to driving to Smithfield for my Boojum hit, would love one closer by

In Spanish, a burro is a donkey, so a burrito is a little donkey.

It was a lot longer ago that the van was outside the centre. Unless they did two stints and maybe they did but I never knew about the second one. Last time they were outside the centre was in 2018 if my memory serves me correctly.

I've cycled in a few times. At 21km round trip (and a good long, shallow climb back), I too would love one closer :-)

Yeah but at least with the cycle you're working off the boojum

In my case, as I cycle in to bring 4 burritos home for the family, I work up the perfect appetite. Pre-burn the calories.

liamog · 29-04-2021 1:39pm

So the new business coming to D15, the daymobrew cycle burrito smuggling service

Mad Egg is opening delivery-only for Dublin 15 from today on Deliveroo. Brilliant news. Looks like from Clonsilla Inn on maps. I hope it can stay.

With outdoor dining allowed soon, I wonder will Clonsilla Inn look to build a good sized terrace that would allow decent and weather proof eating and drinking outdoors. They've ample space to the front and rear unlike a lot of pubs.

Mao seems to have (re)opened, but this time in the shopping centre. The map on Just Eat puts them somewhere around the Leisureplex building, I think. I used to like the one in Blanch village a lot, until they upped their delivery prices and increased the minimum order amount.

They're sharing Dante pizza premises

I ordered lunch this afternoon. Nasi Goreng.
Delicious as always.

Daeltaja · 07-05-2021 5:49pm

Don't sleep on Thai Garden. We all know the restaurant in Blanch village, but they have a takeaway unit in Coolmine industrial estate for a while now and the food is consistently best in class. Honestly, you won't find better Thai food in D15.

raheny red · 19-05-2021 10:38am

Bujo's plans.....

ongarboy · 19-05-2021 12:59pm

More a business reopening update but was in Blanchardstown shopping centre yesterday. Great to see the place buzzing and most of the stores open. The queuing systems for Penneys spread back to the cinema was very efficient and fast moving. Apart from Debenham, the only other COVID casualties I spotted were the boarded up Burtons, Dorothy Perkins, Pamela Scott and Topman/Topshop.

Nice touch was customer service officials throughout the malls guiding shoppers to use the one way system.

Much needed. I was going out of my mind when I was in the centre on Saturday with people blatantly ignoring the signs and arrows. I pointed them out to one couple and got dogs abuse.

Agree it's badly needed.

PopTarts · 20-05-2021 10:41pm

It looks like they are working on the store next to Butlers in the SC.

I think the last store there was the pop up from Pippa O’Connor.

The Butlers kiosk upstairs had a big queue when I was there this week. I thought initially having 2 Butlers was overkill but both seem to do well.

Both Mango and Hollister still have opening Spring 2021 hoardings across from the kiosk. I assume they are still going ahead with obviously rescheduled opening dates. Although with all these sudden exits like Abercrombie & Fitch and Tommy Hilfiger in city centre, nothing is guaranteed with bricks and mortar retail anymore.....

Rumours of a ice cream cafe opening near Lidl in Castlknock.

That's good.

Another one bites the dust in the centre

miamee · 31-05-2021 10:30am

Aw that's a shame. I wonder are all of their stores closing in Ireland or just this one?

Edit: seems to be just Blanch at the moment, they are referring people to their George's St shop.

Daeltaja · 31-05-2021 10:44am

Ah balls, pretty much the only decent shop in Blanch for homeware nick-nacks. One less reason to visit that place.

VonLuck · 31-05-2021 11:26am

Is it not a very strange time to be deciding to close up shop? I mean they've been shut for however many months and then retail has been just allowed to reopen as of a few weeks ago. Surely it would be worth giving it time to see how it plays out with the reopening of society, or maybe something else is at play?

The design of that shop made social distancing very difficult, it was quite poky. I wasn't a fan at all.

Fatnacho · 31-05-2021 2:09pm

Is Raidar clothes shop in the Centre closed down too? Walked past on Friday and it was shuttered. Social media pages are inactive. Selection of menswear only shops in Blanch is very poor compared to other shopping centres.

One in town was closed the weekend too, shop full of clothes but I'd assume maybe going through some sort of transition

raheny red · 31-05-2021 2:49pm

I see there's construction work going on outside the Greyhound Pub. An Outdoor "dining" area or something else altogether?

miamee · 31-05-2021 2:59pm

Popped down to the centre at lunch time, Sostrene Grene is emptied out of stock whereas up to recently they still had stuff in the windows at least.

Still shuttered today, was wondering the same myself.

Was just checking boards to see if anyone has any info on this. It’s one of my favourite shops between all shopping centers.
Anyone know if it’s gone or know of a similar shop?

Caranica · 31-05-2021 8:22pm

Facebook page is gone, never a good sign

Never liked that shop, staff in your face all of the time, afraid to unfold any of the clothing as they were impeccably neat and if you did staff were straight over Folding it up again, also some strange no return policy at the tills.

I walked past the other morning and they were laying pipes. Doubt it's seating.

What’s happening with Wetherspoons? Hasn’t opened since last summer.

raheny red · 07-06-2021 8:23pm

Someone mentioned it flooded earlier in the thread. I was up there last week and they were aload of toilets sitting on the floor in front of the bar so it must have been a bad flood.....

quazzy · 19-06-2021 5:28pm

BuJo at Junction 6 opened up on Thursday 17th June.

According to their insta they'll be open Thursday to Sunday 4 to 9pm - click and collect only.

Looking forward to giving them a shot soon.
