No link my friend, it's going into hoppers old site in the coming few weeks. I know this by association. I'd rather not say what that association is but trust me it's all signed off and happening in the coming weeks

Only during the week there was wild rumours of a student bar going in there (Probably BS although i reckon it would do well)

Would be interesting to see how one of the major franchises does in comparison to Hoppers which was locally founded. It could bomb due to the location but my bets is that the brand is strong enough for it to do well. Traffic wise it could well be chaos as that is a busy enough stretch of road as it is and there isnt exactly alot of car parking there.

I wish it was there today, hangover on me that could use it badly :-(

That sounds like a great plan and i suggest you do just that. You know you wont be disappointed.

Surely one of the most bizarre sites to put a station like this? Busy-ish road but almost all local traffic.

I would have thought the same about the level of investment they are going to put into the tullow road site, considering topaz opening a plaza on the motor way exit and the volume of competition for the fmcg and grocery trade in the immediate vicinity! Hard to see the logic in either decision, and apple green are much more expensive in store than for example mace, spar or central! Time will show if it makes sense I suppose
