Oh god, :mad:I looooove TK Maxx
First saw one 2 years ago in Elgin which is about one hour from Aberdeen.

I thought I was in Aladdin's cave........
So much beautiful things at great prices.

The only problem was that I was travelling with Ryanair and had to be very careful about what I could buy 'cos of the baggage allowance restrictions.

I picked up the most fantastic bubble dress for only £22.90 and a Kathy Van Zeeland bag for £25

I love the range of dresses they have for going out and occassions
Brilliant.
Can't wait:):):):):)

You can get discontinued K-Swiss and reboks in there for DIRT cheap sometimes, got a pair of discontinued limited edition red patent leather K-Swiss flats in the shop in limerick for like €11 one, nearly messed myself, they were sick.
besides that I think I've only ever bought a shirt there...

I absolutely love their homewares section. Such deals! Fantastic for Christmas.

Oooh and the handbags!!!

I have to admit I don't often have the patience to go through the clothes, but they are great if I've got a while. Got some very nice workout gear in the one in Sligo last year.

And the white tracksuit bottoms there are to die for.
Swoon!

Its very easy its cheap and there is a large selection of things you might just like!

To give you an example of being cheap I got a Tshirt in the Limerick one for about €10 a couple of years back, about a year later while in Dublin in BT2 the same tshirt was there for €60... So not only was it cheaper in TK's it was in there before it hit BT's.

Only problem is you could be looking for hours and come out empty handed.

Great, another UK high street shops comes to chip away at Galways' uniqueness.

Xiney · 24-09-2009 9:19am

If by galway's uniqueness you mean galway business' propensity to rip people off... woohoo!

snubbleste · 24-09-2009 12:11pm

As of this morning there is already stock on the shop floor

GALWAYINDOOR · 24-09-2009 12:44pm

treasure chest of last seasons cast offs and i agree yet another uk store really is what galway needs not !!!!

pepsi1234 · 24-09-2009 12:57pm

Now all Galway needs is a Starbucks!

kayos · 24-09-2009 1:10pm

As for calling it a UK store I think you will find its American except over there they trade as TJ Maxx or something like that.

LowOdour · 24-09-2009 1:30pm

bought a black Yves saint Laurent in the tkmaxx in sligo a while back for 30 euro. wore it out one night, must have gotten some drink spilt on it (but wasnt that much that i'd notice) and the next morning i noticed the color had faded in it...wasnt wearable ever again! im dubious about the quality of their stuff

Been a bit recluse lately, barely managed to venture out much at all and am reknowned for avoiding TV so not seen any ads or anything, but where exactly is this thing opening? City Center?

Pretty close: number 2 on the map here

Nathan251 · 24-09-2009 1:44pm

Please tell me this place has a men's section, no doubt i'll be dragged there in the next couple of weeks and i'd like to have something to do there other than standing around trying hard not to look like i'm looking at the wimmin' salivating over the new d&g rip-off boob tube or whatever else takes their seasonal fancy

Really?. What makes Starbucks a better option then the likes of Java's or Cafe Direct?

I agree with "Mactard". We already have enough Coffee Shops as it is. Besides not everyone likes their Coffee burnt;)

sarsarsar · 27-09-2009 8:19pm

Planned for opening on 18th October

LadyMayBelle · 27-09-2009 10:02pm

I reckon it will be sooner. Drooled over some Luella handbags today. Looks finished and almost stocked apart from some rubbish and boxes lying around. Anyone ever hear of those jobs for it being advertised? I'm confident they are all filled but it must have been thru agencies..
