    they're not the only ones doing it, you've got Supermacs/Pappa Johns/Quizno too.
    it's gotten to a point where very few pizza places can survive selling just pizzas.

    Apache will offer a "store in store" franchise to places witha current non competing food offering - quite a few chinese takeaways have taken it up.

    Supermacs, Quiznos & Papa Johns are all owned by Pat McDonagh and part of same group.

    Work has started up again on Shankill Shopping Centre over the last month or so. I saw that the surface was being tarmaced this morning.

    There's a new planning permission lodged:
    http://planning.dlrcoco.ie/swiftlg/apas/run/WPHAPPDETAIL.DisplayUrl?theApnID=D15A/0484&theTabNo=3&backURL=%3Ca%20href=wphappcriteria.display%3ESearch%20Criteria%3C/a%3E%20%3E%20%3Ca%20href=%27wphappsearchres.displayResultsURL?ResultID=1737245%26StartIndex=31%26SortOrder=rgndat:desc%26DispResultsAs=wphappsresweek1%26BackURL=%3Ca%20href=wphappcriteria.display%3ESearch%20Criteria%3C/a%3E%27%3ESearch%20Results%3C/a%3E

    looking to do away with some stores and incorporating them in to the main unit.

    so that will add another 8 weeks delay by the it gets granted, but at least its progress.

    also there's a planning enquiry lodged to see if permission is required to change the use of the furniture show room in ballybrack village in to a convenience store with an internal post office.

    New shop in Dun Laoire is located opposite the old library building. It is a large unit but for the moment seems sparsely filled with small items such as rugs, plates, picture frames, small tables. Only open a few weeks ... perhaps awaiting delivery of more stock.

    It's a Danish design homewares store... I bet it stays this way!

    Prices are very much in line with what you would expect. Despite the Nordic tag, I could only see Danish stuff.

    It's currently being fitted out by a bunch of Chinese lads so it's possible that it will be a sister store of the Apache outlet in Sallynoggin which is a dual operation involving a Chinese takeaway and Apache Pizza.

    Walked past it last night and it looks like its gonna be a stand alone outlet.

    From their website it says they stock goods from the Faroe Islands. I know many people who will boycott them for that reason.

    Honestly, I think this is REALLY scraping the barrel and a cheap shot.

    This is a fabulous shop and indeed very welcomed. In a town where every second shop sits idle, you see fit to scratch around for some obscure reason as to why people should boycott it.

    Do you or your family eat fish?

    I Disagree.

    you can't compare the Grind to eating fish. Dolphins and Whales are highly intelligent Mammals who are being butchered in a totally inhumane way.

    All the shop has to do is stop selling tuff from the Faroe Islands and I and many others will welcome it.

    until then i wouldn't dream of setting foot in the place

    pizza hut express is opening in Sallynoggin were apache used to be up near the church.
    I doubt the pizza hut will last. There is a mizzonis down the road and dominos at the deerhunter roundabout, and the one in killiney shopping centre. The daybreak shop at the church closed and all other takeaways in the apache spot closed.

    The chipper at that church spot is very good and looks to be doing quite well.

    All those junk mail pizza places really annoy me, having to go fishing through your "green bin" pile to buy something at the price it should be normally.

    You better stop putting petrol/diesel in your car too. Probably best to steer clear of Nordic Noir on TV. Are you confident of where your gas comes from for home heating? Fish and chips? Just stick to the chips from now on, smoked salmon is probably a no-no too. A lot more stuff than you realise comes from whale eating Nordic nations. You know they eat reindeer too...?

    Laziness my friend.

    Anyway, in my opinion it will be worse and worse, come over the UK and it's fast food everywhere. The more retail stores that close in neighbourhoods and towns the more fast food joints will appear.
    How any of the places in the UK make money is beyond me, so I reckon there's still plenty of space in the Irish market.

    Funnily enough, when I took my niece to see Oreland v Fatoes at Lansdowne, I discovered that the population of that country was just above the stadium capacity.

    But the Faroese are the only ones who absolutely butcher whales and dolphins. I don't know where your going with your reindeer tangent.
    As someone pointed out they have a tiny population, but they manage to slaughter close to 1000 whales a year. That's up there with the japs. Many times more than any of the other Nordic countries

    Do you eat meat?

    Once again there's a huge difference between euthanising domestic animals and the slaughter of whales.
    Leaving aside the whole conservation side, you can't compare lethal injection Vs being rounded up , chased and the slashed to death with hooks. Whales and dolphins have strong family ties and are brutally murdered in front of each other.

    And some people read more than magazines and educate themselves. When you encounter whales and dolphins in the wild you really appreciate them and understand the need to protect them.

    What about the Chinese dog meat festival?
    Yulin residents cherish the annual summer solstice celebration, which involves the mass torture, slaughter, and consumption of about 10,000 dogs.

    Are you going to boycott everything Chinese as well?
