    What book shop moved in there?

    TBH I buy all my books, discs everything like that on Play.com
    It's crazy cheap.

    (Off Topic: When is Eddie Rockets opening?)

    Stonehouse Books according to the MacDonagh website. No further details though.

    Eddie Rockets is not listed under "coming soon", so no idea when it's opening.

    Was in there yesterday. It looks like they only opened that day as the place wasn't fully stocked yet. I will reserve judgement!

    They have been there for last two months, that's what raised my question :)
    I'm a big fan of the Dub Eddie Rockets so I hope they maintain standards.

    It still seems to be only half open. I got a newspaper in it last week and stuck my nose in there this evening. It's still very very quiet and seems really empty and echoey.

    I was in there yesterday afternoon and it was very quiet. Is the only way to get into it through the food court?

    There are two entrances into the shopping center, the food court and the main entrance which is to right of that green structure they have, up he small steps.
    It's coming off the roundabout.

    I was talking about ways of getting into the book shop.

    One thing I've noticed about people coming up the steps from John Street into the shopping centre.

    They get to the top of the steps and then don't know where to go.
    It's a bit odd that you have to walk diagonally to walk passed the Londis shop and then into the main centre.

    They should put up some bigger signs directing people inside.

    There's an entrance opposite Dunnes main entrance too, in a little corridor that leads to the food court.

    Is it just me or does everybody feel the Junction is one huge disaster? So many stores still unopened [I laugh now everytime I walk by the HB/Sweet Shop stalls.] and practically every store has a sale on with 50% off or more.

    Well its a bit like this, If Tesco(like every other county in the country has )was the anchor tenant, I'd probably be up there at least once a week, or if Marks and Spencer (like Clonmel is getting soon) was the anchor tenant I'd probably be there every week as well.

    Where as putting a token little store like Dunnes have and the planners I can't see any of the other shops giving me a big enough reason to travel up there. Soon Clonmel could be getting it all.

    Its a lovely shopping centre, but with no draw to it

    Agreed Namesco. If it wasn't for the fact that I live so close to the place I would be in there at all. Its one big convenience store to me. Nothing in there really stands out there. Just a ton of overpriced coffee shops and a Dunnes store that seems to be empty half the time.
