    Heard today that a lot of the shops on the upper level have called an emergency meeting with centre management to discuss this Arcadia thing. They don't want to be trading in a shopping centre full of boarded up shops. Don't know how much good it will do.

    Sorry, sure you get it a lot :P


    Anyway this will be a major blow. Just who do they think will take over the shops?

    :D

    Hopefully there'll be some resolve!

    I know this is an old thread but thought some of you might be interested in hearing the following latest update. FYI - Evans in the main centre got the chop but thankfully, the rest survived.

    100 jobs saved in shopping centre

    Fri, September 02, 2011
    ALMOST 100 jobs have been saved in a shopping centre after the landlord company agreed to lower its rent.
    Six out of seven clothing stores belonging to the British retail giant Arcadia Group will now continue trading following negotiations with Green Property Ltd -- the managers of the Blanchardstown Centre in west Dublin.

    One of the posts says that Argos was closing in July but it's still open. I guess they reached an agreement with the Landlord as well?
