Good for John st. As retail had gone way down on that street, overtaken by pubs/restaurants.

linny

should create more footfall on john street, which in turn can only be good news for mac donagh junction, and john street, hopefully the council now might do something with the footpaths on john street

Walked by today and signs for Guineys up "coming soon".

Wonder would that be optimistic? What with planning and alterations to be made thereafter. Pending no objections (this is Kk afterall).

just reading the planning app on council web site fairly minor changes, just want to knock a shed to the rear and build toilets and staff area, didn't realise shop floor area in there was over 1500 sq mtrs (16145 sq ft) going to be a big store

I heard there was a Michael guineys going there, but I'm not sure how true that is

Apologies, I thought there was only one page in the thread.
Has anyone heard anything about dealz are meant to be coming to high street?

linny

Guineys are going into the old furniture shop on top of john street. Have building bought just waiting on planning to be approved for building canteen and toilets to the rear.
Didn't hear anything about dealz coming to Kilkenny where would they go only place can think of would be the old shopping mall if all the units were knocked into one but there was some kind of amusements for kids suppose to be going in there. Would be ideal for a dealz if they were to go there

linny

June is the supposed date but I'd say could even be late July or even august by time planning get true and building and refurb is finished

linny

Guineys got the go ahead also from the council this will be a great addition to john street

road_high

Defo not June so lol.
They might get open for September? Guineys do a lot of back to school stuff and sell it cheap it too.

linny

great to see work starting on Guiney's, hopefully might be open for Halloween

road_high

Looks to be lots of work going on. I'd say they have a lot of refitting to make it into a suitable store.

linny

New windows and doors gone in, in the last week anyone hear when it might be opening. Wonder will it be this site of Xmas

linny

this is great news for john street hopefully it will attract new business to some of the vacant buildings on the street

It opened Monday morning.

Was in going to centra in johns green so popped in for a minute. The place was jammers with women and myself checking the place out.

Stocks men's, women's and kids clothes as well as household items and Christmas decorations.

Hoping to get in tomorrow looks massive from the street

Its great to see premises like this in use. It's sad to see unused premises in other towns, even on main streets. Kilkenny walks a fine line between a vibrant town and run down one. Thank the tourists, I suppose, in that they are the difference between business in Kilkenny and a similar sized town in the region
