Too true NC, closing Dunnes = Insanity. Dunnes does far better in the Area than Tesco, and will continue to do so until such time something other than tesco is opened at the Coonagh SC.

Only thing is Dunnes might face a bit of Kick back when Lidl/Aldi opened on the Davin site, as alot of foreign nationals will use Lidl/Aldi , as its much cheaper than Dunnes or Tesco.

Overly I think imho, Dunnes is far superior to Tesco, on every level. In the past I used to love going to the Crescent Tesco, but since it pitched up at the Coonagh Sc, I dont have the same allure.

Not just foreign national's with the current state of things.

I use Tesco more often than Dunnes now - sole reason is that you can get in + out of Tesco quicker, sick of standing in queues in Dunnes.

I agree - you can also go straight into Tesco without having to wander through the rest of the shopping centre. As it's quieter, it is a faster shopping experience and also has the self service option..

Apols if this has been answered a gazillion times already - I read back but couldn't see - the new building that is flying up beside Coonagh - has that got tenants or is it being built as per original plans? Looks like a retail park building...

Also - any definites as to whether it is Lidl or Aldi for Davin site?

ok I have shopped in Aldi and Lidl and do most of my shopping in Dunnes and tbh i dont find much difference in the prices bread chicken and vegies are usually around the same price and ok will give you you cant get the cheese range in aldi anywhere else.

Sure it makes no difference if the price of gas and leccie go up much more we wont be eating.

Really feel though that ninety9er hit it on the head about the lack of big names not drawing I mean the cinema going imo has done massive damage to that site as a whole

Not all vicious rumours. Notice on the Door of Dunnes on Sarsfield Street.

"This store will close on Saturday 2nd of August and will not re-open"

A similar notice is due to appear on the O'Connell Street store at some stage.

I really couldn't care less what they put on the Sarsfield Street site as long as it's not shopping or a hotel!

So they building another Shopping centre or am I taking this up the wrong way?

bazz26

LOL.

They cannot even fill what they have already built.

This is rdiculous at this stage, that should be opposed immediatly. Its not needed, Coonagh is a big empty warehouse with just tesco, who are these idiots trying to continually build unwanted shopping centres.

zuroph

is it possible it a redesign on some current features to attract in the business?

Well, the cinema should attract some business I guess, there's very few decent ones in Clare afaik.

I think the reason its currently unwanted is because its got nothing going for it at the moment, I'd imagine these additions might just help it get the business it wants.

It might have something to do with the fact we seem to be free falling into a recession too. There will be alot more of these half empty retail parks the way things are heading I'm afraid.

Possible, and what I'd hope for.

Probable, and unforunately more likely.

Living locally, it was the withdrawal of the cinema that annoyed me most about the whole thing.

Can anyone tell me the opening hours at Tesco Coonagh please? Not sure if it is 24hours. Need to go there tomorrow morning.

Had a look on www.tesco.ie and cannot even find details for Coonagh.

Opening hours as follows:
Mon 0:00 - Sun 24:00

Many thanks TC

So is there any sign of anything opening in Coonagh?
When I was there the day of Tesco opening they were laying the tiles in the shopping centre bit so it's not as if they're still waiting for it to be finished.

Limerick is doing pretty well in comparison to the rest of the country, believe me. Population is still growing. Limerick is now one of the most trendiest city for students. Student popuation is growing phenominally. That side of the city along Coonagh and the North side has really picked up in the last few years. Once the bypass is in. This area of town will be more popualar with shoppers.

There is a big catchment for Coonagh also. If Coonagh is very successful, Then I'm sure people from Galway will come to shop here. Crescent is one of the most sucessful shopping malls in the country. and they attract shoppers from all over Munster.

P.S also bear in mind its always better to optimistic in times of gloom, then be so negative of been in gloom.


Limerick will pick up. Limerick had pre growth boom years too. Remember back in 1992- 1993 Dooradoyle housing sprawl kicked off.

I thought they had scrapped the cinema aspect of it. It does make sense to bring it back as it would differentiate it from the rest of the retail parks opening all over.

The pedant in me couldn't let this go.

talkingclock

i'm confused now. should it be 23:59 then?

:pac:

zuroph

nah, its 00:00, or 23:59:59 but that would imply that it closed for a second!

00:00 to 00:00 ??

talkingclock

I always thought 24:00 refers to midnight the old day and 00:00 to the start of the new day.

however, it's open 24hrs

Delladoyle, you mean? Consumer sentiment is in interesting thing and I don't want to rain on anyone's positivity parade, but we better pray that if - if - Dell's production facilities are going to be sold off as going concerns, that there are some absolutely massive State Supports offered to whomever might be a prospective buyer, or Limerick will get its head kicked in.

So if anyone knows Willie O'Dea, it might be worth mentioning to him that it'll take more than a serious moustache to help his city get through the aftermath of a Dell implosion.
