    Doubt it - the big one has become a Centra (After a very high profile falling out of its owner and ADM Londis where all his rake of stores have become Centras) and there is one on the college campus as is. There is no real location for another to open either.

    I don't think a newsagents of any description is going to survive on the main street - in the past five years three have closed (Greallys, Barrys and Nuzstop); the Post Office had one in it too and its gone also. Only advantage would be bus stop traffic but that wasn't enough for Buckley's to keep their newsagents when they had it in the 1990s (before the child who can't use capitals properly was born).

    Centra is quite a bit further down Rozabeez - towards the college end of the main street.

    Didn't the old 3 all shut down within a relatively short period of time though.

    I imagine one could survive by the bus stop but not more than one. They was always a few people in them when I was in college. There useful for bus tickets etc... and the odd ice cream or whatever while waiting for the bus.

    Was In There , Picked Up A Pack Of Lucky Strike For 8Euro , Not Sure If Thats The Normal Price Tho.
    You Can Get Hersheys Chocolate Bars In There , Which Is Awesome.
    And They Dont Seem To I.D The Little Kids For Cigerettes.

    Smokes in a newsagent - NEWSFLASH
    Hershey's taste like used cigarettes.
    And if they sell smokes to kids they'll be gone sooner rather than later.

    And from a Spell Czech perspective - you don't need to capitalise every word.

    Was Refering To The 8 Euro Smokes , Not Sure What They Cost Else Where.
    You've Eaten Used Cigerettes ? :pac:
    I'm Just Curious To See The Deli Bar Thing , Prices And If It's Tasty Or Not.

    Oh , When I Type I Keep My Pinky On The Shift Key , Just Become A Habit To Capitalise My Words ^_^

    Please don't, as it makes it very hard to read.

    This is a grown up forum. Grown ups know how to use the English language :)

    Watch your change in that londis, they always short change you & if your only buying smokes, they keep the euro & give you back the odd few cents, they always do that to me & other ppl common trick they have. They seem to think that cos they are beside a bus stop that your rushing for a bus & won't check your change! Their a friggan nightmare, I'd rather walk the extra min & go to Scally's than buy off them at this stage
