This thread hasn't had a reply in nearly two years!

On topic: The Starbucks in Ranelagh shut down recently, they've pretty much removed any evidence of it ever being there as they usually do! Wasn't there long, must have done very badly...

Agreed, Its not as if there isnt room for one. GTI closed down years ago, and Costa Coffee isnt the same


then again, it is Dun Laoghaire....

The Tallaght Starbucks closed 2 months ago as well. It was a nice spot to get a coffee early in the morning if you happened to be stuck in the place for some reason

Starbucks in general wasnt making money so they had to shut a few premises down mainly new stores. Some friends work for Starbucks and informed me of this

i think the one in ranelagh probably didn't do very well because there are so many lovely coffee shops in the area, i'd say it took a real hit when the market opened too.
i used to love it but the 5minute walk down to harcourt street is grand - helps make a dent in the calories!

Dun Laoghaire is such a bad place to set up a business at the moment I think. Look at all of the empty shops. I'm not sure a starbucks would do well there.

There was talk of the one in Dalkey closing down a couple of months back as they weren't making any money. I wonder if there is truth in this?

As for the one in Blackrock, it's never particularly busy. I've only really been in it at lunch time so maybe it's busier in the mornings?? Such a waste of a beautiful building. Would have made a fabulous restaurant overlooking the sea.

I beg to differ, I go to SCD in Dun Laoighaire + if there was one nearby I would go there everyday, as would alot of the staff + students. Single handedly we could make it survive!:D

The DCU one was the first in Ireland, I remember being told this by some head lecturer guy at our first lecture. Embarassing stuff. Never frequented it in my 4 years there, hated the pricks who would walk into class 15 minutes late with a huge starbucks cup. They were 15 minutes late but they still had time to grab an overpriced latte? Could they not have waited another 45 minutes?

:pac:
