    Sherwoods is ridiculously overpriced. I have no idea why anyone would shop there.

    Is it? Never bought anything there I must confess and mostly due to the location. I always got the impression they stocked all the middle/higher end brands compared to electrocity which is very price driven.

    Went in today. I seldom shopped in the high street store because of parking etc.
    Got parked right at the door,yay. Went in,there was a guy at the till( on the right) grunted at me,even though I addressed him politely !. Went to look at kettles and found the one I wanted,then went further into the store looking for an Iorn. No Fookin prices...(boils my piss) the lad didn't come near me,I was about 10 mins in the shop and nobody even came close to me. Abandoned the place and went to DID everything priced,in and out in less than 5 mins,with 2 items.
    Sherwoods you've had your chance,never again.

    Sam McCauley's officially moving into the Sherwoods store now, as reported in the Irish Times.

    So what's going to go into the Sam McCauley's space?

    I emailed dealz last week to see if they had any plans for a store in Kilkenny city. But they have no plans for Kilkenny at the moment. Is Kilkenny to affluent for this type of store. Great to hear about Newbridge sliver opening a store in Kilkenny.

    It's a bizzare omission. They've been in Killarney for yonks for example. But like Iceland, they're known to target less affluent areas. Id say biggest thing in Kk though is purely a lack of suitable premises.

    You may be right but it should be left up to us as punters whether we want to shop there,not city/co.councillers making our minds up for us.

    There's no council people stopping Tesco setting up in Kilkenny right now, its the consumer that is. Tesco is banjaxed in UK & Ireland, they are scaling back and have cancelled many planned new stores because they've lost massive business to Aldi & Lidl.

    If these massive Tesco stores can sit empty in the UK then the same could have easily happened in Kilkenny

    http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31365003
    After spending £22m on it, the company announced the site in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, will be mothballed - one of 49 planned stores across the UK to be cancelled, with a further 43 existing outlets due to be shut down.

    Alternatively a Tesco Extra outside the town could have had a major negative impact on High Street and other retailers putting countless jobs at risk from all sorts of shops including Electrical, Cycle Shops, clothes shops, chemists, outdoors etc

    Popped in to buy a laptop today and they didn't have 1 in stock. Walked next door to DID and they didn't do finance this week so couldn't buy there.

    Went down to electrocity for the first time ever. Really helpful staff good range of laptop with finance available but then realised that it was going to cost be 450 extra euros for a 1.1k laptop. Think I'll pop down to the credit union.

    Have you tried Grays on John street, they're great. They're really helpful with followup troubleshooting.

    Bought two there. They sell TVs and Laptops, and their accessories, nothing else. So unlike DID or Electro, they actually have a clue what they are talking about. And are very competitive on price with a wide range.
    I had an issue with my own lately (keyboard needed replacing). Less than one year old, sent it off for me and got it fixed under warranty. All for free. So I couldn't fault their customer service.

    Also there's a computer shop beside Tesco in Carlow that sells reconditioned laptops with a warranty.
