    I know I have a real dislike for Tesco coming to Tuam but the rumor mill has taken a pace over the last week that an express is on the verge of coming to the Shopping Center on the N17. Anyone heard anything concrete? Anything would help the poor people who work down there, they really deserve the break.

    It will be great when they open, but once whatever competition there is locally has closed, you can expect the selections of goods available to reduce dramatically. Especially the better value ones.

    Thanks A2

    We have had this debate and I could not agree with you more, Tesco are a town killer, however if they do move an express there I think it would do less damage than if they were to open a massive outlet out the N17 somewhere. The lesser of two evils if you know what I mean.

    Back to the original question, is there any hard evidence that they are going in there?

    Not any hard evidence but someone I know overheard a few businessy looking men in the Shopping Centre who were looking around mention Tesco. I also saw the shutters to the actual shop up and business people coming out so there is some movement going on.

    Yeah, Tesco are seriously considering the shopping centre but it will not be a Tesco Express like the one on the Headford Road because the premises in tuam is actually too big for this, believe it or not. I know that there are some reservations about Tesco coming to town but at least their presence will save the other businesses in the shopping centre who are suffering badly at the moment.
