    The girls in the post office in ballsgrove said it meant to be opening up around easter. Don't know who taken over it.

    No signs of anything happening to it yet. Everything still as it was (hand written signs, notices, etc). Never realised how much I used it!

    I did see a small Musgrave truck pulling away from behind Stafford's the other day....could be shelf filling????

    Thanks for this, I found out today that they are currently being refurbished so lets hope they open up in the next few weeks.

    Oh good to know, thanks!

    So the word is now that whatever was happening there has fallen through and it won't be opening for the foreseeable future :(

    Though the post office crowd are trying to get something opened up in Southgate now, which would be awesome for those of us in Grange Rath :P

    Quick update - some fella named Gerry from Skerries is opening up the old Stafford's shop in the very near future. No other details at this time other than he currently owns outlet(s) in Skerries.


  • Registered Users Posts: 541 ✭✭✭mejulie805


    Well, it is possible that there is more than 1 Gerry in Skerries, but I'd be happy presuming this is him all the same: http://www.gerrys.ie/

    Sadly, he's apparently told the Post Office he's not interested in having them there :(

    Was speaking to another local retailer recently who said it's quite expensive to get them into your store, and although he'd happily get them in if he could, he couldn't justify the money nor could he get it from banks if he could.

    Spotted the shutters opened yesterday and what looked like electrical trade men inside working away!


  • Registered Users Posts: 541 ✭✭✭mejulie805


    We're looking at early September. Will be glad to have a trading shop back there.

    Post office back? Hooray!


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,674 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    Anybody pop in or has it not opened up yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 541 ✭✭✭mejulie805


    It's open, but I haven't been in yet!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,965 ✭✭✭furiousox


    initial impressions are that it doesnt carry the same range and variety of products as staffords did. theres a bit less shelving and a bit more floorspace than before. it was day one though so the layout might not be finished yet.

    Yep, and wine. And the vegetable selection looks really good.

    Is there a deli/hot counter section in the shop now? Staffords was handy for a quick lunch when I'd be passing by.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,965 ✭✭✭furiousox


    There is.
