The other half was in there yesterday and was impressed with the layout, selection and prices.

Trouble with stores like that is that they will further damage other small shops and businesses selling the same goods around Enniscorthy.

I doubt it's trouble really.

I'd look at it in a more positive light and see it as competition for other shops, employment for people and choice for consumers.

I agree, local shops should see any new store as competion and up their own game. However every decent to large sized store built or proposed for Enniscorthy has met with objection and negativity from the tired old shop keepers of Enniscorthy who are to stubborn to accept change and up their game. Bring on progress.

Chloroplast

exactly, and its always been like that here too in wexford town.

the very second anyone tries to do something different or new its objected to straight away. the negativity in this town is appalling .

was out shopping on the town today, looking to buy some clothes, ended up finding absolutely nothing at all. dead town, full of crap sport saver shops with cheapo sport brands, and anywhere that dont, well they just do the usual, ben sherman, tommy hillfiger, levis, they have the same brands in every shop and this is going on for years. ive officially resorted to taking the bus to Waterford aswell as online shoping.

Its people like you who halt progress.

What do you or anyone else owe these shopkeepers who are stuck in the past and can't up their game to compete with other businesses?

Drove by it today and car park was full to capacity-you can't blame people for looking to get value for money.There's very little of it in the town-oh and no pay parking either.
Competition is whats needed for the shops in town to up their game,what would they do if Penneys,Heatons and Tesco decided to open up in the town? You could imagine the outcry of certain individuals who had free reign for so many years.Look at Gorey,hardly any closed up retail units and they have all the big stores in and around the town.Didn't do any harm there.
So I say good luck to MR.Price-hope more business decides to take the plunge in Enniscorthy and open up-God knows the place needs it.

Well done to a new enterprise giving competition to the town, it's got my vote.

Gaunty...........you wouldn't happen to be one of those tired old shop owners would you?

Like also to mention WELL DONE to "The Echo"...........picked it up this week, did my usual flick through........and was dumbstruck.........I couldn't find any of those trivial court cases, speeding, no seat belt, etc. I had to search a second time, but could not find any, only the cases that should be in there, robbery, etc. So unless I need to go to specsavers I am pleased about that.

Well I understand the Dail recess this summer was until September 29, so that's three months when the thieves, thugs and gougers are off-duty.:rolleyes:
