New Business openings and closures around you?

the interiors/furniture offering that was in the front of Buckleys in Sandycove has disappeared. Coffee bit in the back still seems to be going strong.

The post office in Nutgrove Shopping Centre has relocated to outside unit beside Argos.

Yep moved just before Christmas.

External post box is still down by the entrance to BK

Garlinge · 06-02-2021 5:49pm

Oh pity no external box at new location, used to be one at main entrance.

Coffee alone wouldn't make commercial sense at that location. There's an Insomnia across the road, another coffee place inside the industral estate and there's a tea room inside the main gate of the cemetery.

Maybe the Grange is planning to do food when the current lockdown is eased and before pubs are allowed to open.

Sure look at Ballybrack. You have a Costa but both the Igo and rambelers have opened a coffee shop/kiosk

Awaaf · 17-02-2021 6:22pm

Grange container branded as Rude Boy Burger as of this evening. There seems to be an embryonic website for it also.

skibum · 17-02-2021 10:37pm

something similar in the carpark of Brady's pub in Shankill.

Might give it a try next weekend.

Quigley's pharmacy have opened a branch a couple of doors up from the Leopardstown Inn in the premises that used to be a gourmet food shop.

Sheep Shagger · 10-03-2021 12:01am

Lifestyle Sports in Nutgrove appears to be completely empty. It missed the refurbishment with all the others LSS shops. Wonder if it won't reopen?

qb123 · 10-03-2021 1:17pm

Passing through DL SC and Lifestyle there also looks to have had most of its stock removed.

NutmegGirl · 10-03-2021 1:35pm

Dundrum is the same, there last week and v little stock in the shop

Tabnabs · 10-03-2021 1:41pm

If they are only selling online currently, would it not make sense to remove stock from the retail outlets and move them to a centralised warehouse for online sales distribution?

NutmegGirl · 10-03-2021 1:45pm

Possibly but no other shop seems to be doing that and they’ll still be paying rent

Gareth Keenan · 10-03-2021 3:23pm

a planning application for the redevelopment of the Eagle House, Glasthule has been made. The plans haven't been uploaded yet, the description is...

Permission for development. The development will consist of the demolition of a single storey portion of the existing public house facing onto Adelaide Road and the re-construction of a new glazed dining room space in its place. The demolition area is 55 msq and the reconstructed dining room space is 61 msq, resulting in a total new ground level public house gross internal area of 513 msq, Minor layout modifications of the existing external dining area to the rear of the Public House are also proposed. The development site extends to the ground floor area only as upper levels are independently leased and operated. The total site area is 0.051 hectares.

Also in Glasthule, the former Carcluccios will reopen as a branch of Daata - Pakistani cuisine, currently operating in Bray and Greystones.

Whatever about Nutgrove and DL which are old shops, Dundrum is one of their flagship stores.

Assume they have moved stock to the warehouse so they can fulfil orders....means there is some work to do restocking once government give retail green light to open.

I thought Nutgrove looked like fixtures and fittings had been removed too...Maybe not.

L1011 · 11-03-2021 8:32pm

In fashion, you definitely don't want stock sitting for months in stores when you might be able to sell it online - as it it'll not be saleable at full price when you reopen.

dublinman1990 · 13-03-2021 4:39am

Dundrum TC is to undergo a review of it's finances after losses more than doubled last year. The Irish Times has reported earlier on Friday that, it's owners Hammerson, is going to work on a strategic & organisational review as the shopping centre operator has been hard by Covid-19 & associated public health measures being announced by the government.

Hammerson had full year results of £1.4 billion (€2 billion) recorded for the year ended Dec 31st 2020 compared to losses of £781 million from the year before.

More details here.

satanta99 · 13-03-2021 1:10pm

Same has happened in the flagship Lifestyle Sports store in the Capitol on Patrick Street in Cork. This two storey store only opened in 2017. All stock has been removed in the last few weeks.

In the first lockdown, Lifestyle Sports did the same in the store in Castlewest Shopping Centre in Ballincollig. The store never reopened.

Ah balls. That was my go to Indian takeaway. Fecking Apache Pizza. Wasnt there one already sharing with a Chinese place just down the road?

dublinman1990 · 16-03-2021 9:52pm

Cronin's Centra in Newtownpark Avenue has a retention notice up from DLRCC displayed on the Texaco fuel pumps entrance/exit. Does anyone know what's that about? I know that Cronin's Centra had made a planning application about 2 years ago to expand/redevelop the shop floor space & to build new offices above it with apparently dismantling the current car wash behind it. Has any formal decision been made to date by ABP on Centra's new planning application for the site?

Papers saying Penny's has put 'on hold' its plan to take 2 floors of the old HOF in Dundrum.

Am assuming they have not found a replacement tenant for the new food quarter that looks nearly finished (was to be Fallon and Byrne) either.

You're correct, the traffic lights are visible in red at the end when the image goes back to colour.

Yes they have the whole place set up.
“The ‘Covid Yard” full bar service in the covered beer garden. Fish shack, burger place, burritos, coffee snd so on.

A whole business ruined because a scumbag doesn't like nice things like pancakes.

What a sad miserable individual. I hope the guards throw the book at him when he's arrested.

It's been closed a while now but Leisureplex Stillorgan is to be demolished soon, Tinnelly Demolition are currently securing the site, I'd imagine they'll get on with it fairly promptly.

Drove past a few weeks ago and there was a massive queue to get in. It looks like a fruit and veg shop is it? And they also sell coffee?
