Hi There!!!
Thank you for writing off our city :rolleyes:

Hi OP
Anything in particular youre shopping for?

EDIT: I didnt put that sad face there

What a pair of wanker trolls, go to Dublin or Cork. ****ing cheek!
Yeah OP if you let us know what youre looking for, some of the shopping areas are more suited for individual tastes.

happyfeet22

i want to do some clothes shopping

Asmodean banned for a week.

By all means, feel free to disagree with anyone who tells the OP to go somewhere else to shop but abuse is not tolerated.

If you willing to go as far as Tramore there is a nice shop called Red Lane. Stocks nice occasion wear as well as Firetrap, great Plains and some other really nice stuff (haven't been in for a while due to financial situation so can't remember other brands ) as well as Exit kids clothes (roches used to stock it). Not very big but I always hit there first if I am shopping.

there is as much choice in Waterford as anywhere ---

its a bit more spread out with the outer ring road -
but most people enjoy shopping in Waterford -

exsp people from wex, kilkenny, & tipp

Waterford is only "Okay" for shopping. We all know it, but are afraid to admit it. Its probably the only decent place in the South East though. Id prefer Cork or Dublin myself.

Lets not forget - we do have some decent stores here and I think with the new shopping center it will improve.

foxylad; I know your on the Chamber of Commerce but seriously, Cork and Dublin have MUCH more choice. Lets not get into a fairyland imagination. We all want Waterford to do well, but by making us appear to be great will drive people away. Being honest and saying "Its not the best, but we do have a good selection so its worth checking out - it will improve over time" is the right way to go.

The OP asked about places to shop inside Waterford so your reply is not helpful in the least. Your last 2 replies weren't helpful in any way either. Quit trolling.

This thread is not to debate whether someone would benefit more from shopping outside of Waterford. The OP asked for places to shop in Waterford. Please keep it on topic.

City Square could be a lot better, but it does offer a few decent shops. Debenhams, Dunnes, River Island, Golden Discs etc. Then outside of that you have Jack & Jones, Book Center, BBs, Subway, Shaws, etc. I cant think of all the stores names, but there are a good few other decent stores in the City Center. Plenty for the women! Redlane in Tramore, bit out of the way maybe.

TKMaxx and Pennys are outside of the city center (Pennys isnt that far away). Harvey Norman, Halfords, and other big retail units are in the retail park.

Okay is a bit optimistic imo. Outside of TK Maxx I honestly don't think theres anywhere really to go in Waterford that has a great selection. Only ever really found random bits in the city centre

Being honest he's right this is especially true for mens clothes there's very little selection imo. Can't remember the last time I went shopping for clothes in the city centre

Your post came across as a level.

Maybe if we wanted even more people to gloss over Waterford as a place to shop AND gift places like Dublin and Cork with tourism and extra business AND further tarnish the reputation of our own City then we should indeed publicise ourselves as a bad place to shop with the exception of a few shops dotted in various places around the place.

But we don't want to do that.

Its not any worse then "Okay" though. Its probably better for women, clothes wise.

See the problem is, if we go on about how great Waterford is and say "Come down, lets of places to shop in" and they arrive and find it a damp squid they will let people know how poor Waterford is. Word of mouth etc. There is no point liying to the public as we will get bad reviews.

Waterford does not have a great selection of stores in comparsement to other locations. It will improve with the new shopping center, hopefully. No point liying about it. We need to make sure work continues on that and try offer retailers some space in our city at decent rates.

The OP asked where to go in Waterford, they did not ask abouit Cork or Dublin.

This is typical Irish attitude, just like someone asking for directions, they are often met with "I wouldn;t start form here if I were you....."

Hedone

i agree with people who say that waterford is not a very good place for shopping. shops are all spread around in town & it takes ages to get from one to another but if you have time & patience guess it's alright. my wotkmates & friends agree that you can get a better shopping experience in dublin, cork etc. the square is boring, no choice at all

ye and i,living in waterford said to them not to waste their time,better shopping in cork or dublin.whether they listen to me or not,doesnt make any difference.

love the way people bring up typical irish attitude ,lol,what is the typical irish attitude?i just told the op as someone living in waterford better off shopping elsewhere.trying to help them out.people always seem to use that 'typical irish attitude'", "typical waterford ättitude' etc .what do ya care anyway,if ya think the shopping is good fair enough,just think personally its better in dub or cork,get over it.

Sully

Can we get back on topic please and just answer the OPs question? I think the whole "anti-waterford" for shopping has been done, so lets just tell the OP what Waterford has to offer.

Thanks.

ye no prob ,only thing is i think ya basically covered all of the shops in one of your earlier posts so i dont think people can really add any more.that says it all really.

That's the clearest indication to me your trolling. You have been asked once already by another moderator to stop, so please do. I see your point, no need to keep re-iterating it. If you have no further suggestions, fair enough, leave it. Any issues with this, including a "No problem" reply, PM me. Anything else will be considered off topic.

Thanks.

Was in Shaws yesterday and they have a voucher promotion on. If you spend over €30 you get €10 off. They have the vouchers at all the till. OP might be worth checking out as they have a good selection of clothes upstairs. Every litttle helps during these times aye?
