    It did a pretty good job of looking closed! I was there a couple of weeks ago and the lights were off, doors locked, not a single product to be seen!

    Just a sign on the door saying PC World coming soon.

    From what I've heard, theyre sharing the building with Currys so both shops will be open. I'm looking for a new laptop at the moment so probably wait until the place opens fully before buying anything

    Aye, I think a lot of the Currys stuff is now upstairs, so shop is spread across two floors.

    Guys, I can give you a clear picture on this. The new store will open toward the end of September. Current target is the 23rd/ 24th but safer to call it for the end of the month. It's one of four that we're doing in a combined Currys / PC World format this year, the others being Blanchardstown and Airside in Dublin and Cork. We'll end up with a full PC World format in Letterkenny and we're really looking forward to it. The store is very partially opened, with an emphasis on partially, but it gives you some idea as to what the finished product will look like

    When the new store opens, can one expect that there will be opening offers on such things as laptops and accessories?? :)

    I am thinking of getting a new laptop in the near future. How much of a saving can be made from their opening offers.

    Sorry for the delay in replying. Thought I was tracking the thread. Still getting used to it...

    Yes you can expect the full shilling in opening offers. We did it this weekend in Blanchardstown and had serious queues. Queueing started at 15.00 on Saturday for the Sunday offers. Have a look at the thread on it in bargain alerts to give you an idea of the deals. We'll have the same sort of idea in limited stock offers, probably not in the same numbers as in Blanch as Letterkenny is a smaller store, but in decent enough numbers anyway. If you're happy to do a bit of queueing there will be a lot of value but I would expect Letterkenny to be a bit less work than at Blanchardstown in the queueing stakes. You can expect the grand opening activity in the latter half of October. I'm still waiting for a confirmed date. Hope this helps

    Nobody's forcing you to wait. There are plenty of other places to buy from in the meantime if it's so urgent.

    Happy to report that the store opens tomorrow morning. Looks well, the laptop range has increased from 20 odd to 70. There's a much expanded desktop range and Apple is there too. And so is Ipad. Would appreciate any feedback

    That just shows a certain amount of contempt for Donegal people imo.

    Didn't see you post the same when you had one of your stores open In Dublin (?) recently.

    You're misunderstanding me. We've just opened the store this morning and the grand opening will come later. We did exactly the same in the dublin stores.

    Is there a more cost effective way of reaching a wide audience in Donegal ?

    YOu might reach a large number of people in Donegal with highland radio yes but is it the right demographic that you are aiming for?

    Now i'm not saying that the only people that listen to Highland are old biddys with cats as friends but a lot of them are. Best thing maybe would be an online challange of some kind?

    Relatively cheap, not as cheap as a radio ad yes i know but you get the word out there and get people talking.
