    Another planning app gone in for the frites shack at Circle K

    For retaining any remaining chance I have of not getting a heart attack, I oppose this :pac:


    I will be trying them solely based you your strong endorsements on here.

    I've never actually tried that operator; but I've gone to festivals in .nl and basically lived off frites met fritesaus (and Jupiler) for a four day weekend.

    Glenroyal's gone in for 16 more bedrooms.

    The original plan for the hotel was 13 bedrooms in total as far as I remember - although I'm fairly sure that was increased between the proposal and opening - and this will bring it over 140 if the figure online is accurate.

    Anytime Fitness hoping to be open in the unit beside Boots before Xmas. Doing soundproofing works at the moment. Pre-covid, they had planned to be open by the end of the summer.

    Mulcahy's chalkboard says its now called Tommy's.

    I don't know the lads there well enough to know if that's one of the younger ones taking over or whether someone bought it; though.

    It's Tommy who used to be the butcher in Supervalu.

    Fair play to him but bad luck for Supervalu, he was an asset to the place.

    Yep. Fone+ it's called. Signage went up the other day.

    And there's another one going in where SVdP was. That makes 5 by my count. Fonia by the Garda station is gone.

    I think I read here that he is the one moving into the charity shop unit.

    Lidl have applied for the long-expected permission to nuke the existing store and replace it. The existing store and environs is incredibly run down and totally out of character for the chain; presumably because they knew it was due to go.

    Standard new store design it seems, 140sqm extra sales floor, 350sqm extra warehouse, EV chargers, bike parking etc etc.

    Is the new Lidl due to go into the existing site or somewhere else?

    Dee Dees in The Range is gone; torn out and replaced by a display of fake Christmas trees currently

    Someone ages ago on this thread said it was going, to be replaced by an Iceland branch; The Range have these in some stores in the UK currently so this is very plausible.

    Iceland have some decent own-brand stuff and also some mass market UK brands vastly cheaper than other stores; they hurt their own image with those Katona ads etc and their original store locations in Ireland gave it an even more artificially downmarket image.

    However, there's still no confirmation this is actually happening

    Does anybody know what will happen in Kildare in the spot where the old Lidl used to be (main road after Silken Tomas) ?

    Builders/shopfitters/something in the Main Street former Vincents today.

    I only noticed the new shop here today (not down Main St very often at the moment). Is it another phone shop?

    I think I was the one who mentioned Iceland going into The Range. Think I saw a planning notice for it.

    I've never seen a planning app for it; I'm not sure it'd need one as they have planning for 'variety' use and already sell food and drink. Would need it for an offo; which a few Icelands have but I don't think any of the instore Range ones do.

    That's from 2018 and its to alter the noise levels on their aircon units; was refused and upheld on appeal. I've no idea why they haven't taken the notice down!

    Didn't notice that the Duke and Coachman has reopened as The Red Door, presumably Louis remembered it has substantial outdoor capacity and was still licenced!

    The barbers that was closed in Manor Mills has knocked through in to the (also closed) key cutting place, been fully refit and is now a Boston chain barber. May be completely new operators, never used it so don't know. Doesn't seem to focus on the kids seats like the old one did.

    That key cutting place has been there forever. Used to bring the kids to the barbers, but the youngest used to scream the place down. (We cut it at home now.)

    True. Anything before I moved to the town (in 2008) I'll count as forever!

    Brought the young lad there at the weekend, happy with his hair. Will give it a go myself.
