    Looks like we're gonna have another Costa Coffee in town. Drove past Tesco in Ardkeen earlier and there's a sign up near where the car washing used to be done saying 'Costa Coffee coming soon'. There were builders and diggers etc there so work is underway. Wouldn't have thought there was much space there for a coffee shop but time will tell!

    Probably a costa express (basically a glorified coffee machine) there popping up all over the UK at present.

    I'd have assumed a coffee machine would be kept indoors in the shop itself not at the top of a car park?

    In the UK there's a Costa cafe in nearly all large Tesco supermarkets

    I think it's probably a 'normal' coffee shop than those machines. It's not in the Tesco, it's at the edge of the car park and they've set up a container type site office, saw David Flynn can there so I'm guessing there's some building work happening.

    Strange that one builder is hiring another to build something for him.

    Hadn't thought of that! Just saw a small David Flynn can parked beside it. Maybe they're doing the fit out or something - early days to be there for that though.

    Frisby is more of a developer than a builder, I doubt he has any actual construction workers working for him.

    It was the same when D.I.D was built up there.

    There's already a cafe in Tesco Ardkeen, I cant imagine they'd be too happy with this.

    Did he not build all those housing estates himself? I suppose might be keeping more to the development end of things also less people on the books as well so less pressure to get work.

    On a related matter in these current times Tesco has said that the move is towards express or metro stores now. I guess the Lidl/Aldi factor/depression is the reason.

    Supervalue/Musgrave group is nibbling at tesco's lead now but the Germans are still opening up stores as I speak:)

    Also people are not going to the very large stores anymore as a shop takes too long.

    There's a cafe in the Tesco Extra in Naas, and a Costa in the same centre. Similar in other ones I've seen. I doubt they'll care overly, even if they have a say.

    Love the coffee in costa, (double espresso) but don't like the food. I've only had it once since the two stores in Waterford opened though.

    I'd say your best bet would be to head into the one in town and have a word with the manager. Maybe ask them for an application form or something.

    Best of luck!

    Its a fairly big one all the same !!!.

    There must be good business at that way all the same. Not just next to tesco but also near Ardkeen hospital you will get a lot of people stoping there before they head to a appointment or something.

    Smart move all the same.
