Is Raidar clothes shop in the Centre closed down too? Walked past on Friday and it was shuttered. Social media pages are inactive. Selection of menswear only shops in Blanch is very poor compared to other shopping centres.

Never liked that shop, staff in your face all of the time, afraid to unfold any of the clothing as they were impeccably neat and if you did staff were straight over Folding it up again, also some strange no return policy at the tills.

I see there's construction work going on outside the Greyhound Pub. An Outdoor "dining" area or something else altogether?

I walked past the other morning and they were laying pipes. Doubt it's seating.

What’s happening with Wetherspoons? Hasn’t opened since last summer.

raheny red · 07-06-2021 08:23PM

Someone mentioned it flooded earlier in the thread. I was up there last week and they were aload of toilets sitting on the floor in front of the bar so it must have been a bad flood.....

BuJo at Junction 6 opened up on Thursday 17th June.

According to their insta they'll be open Thursday to Sunday 4 to 9pm - click and collect only.

Looking forward to giving them a shot soon.

Yep, got it last week. Really well organised, order online and just rock up at the appointed time to collect your order. Bujo burgers are great, we actually drove over to Sandymount during a break in lockdowns last year just to get some, they're that good. And definitely get some onion rings, they're excellent.

A bit expensive for a family of four for a takeaway. Imho.

I wouldn't find the product any better than half and half or grilltown. Like Bunsen, they've done well to build up the legend through social media and are charging for it.

Twice the price of a MacDonalds meal and I doubt they're twice as good as the one off burgers they do which I find are generally quite decent. It's stuff like onion rings and other sides that MacDonalds underperform in.

Lovely. Their outdoor area has turned into a sty the past few months.

They were doing some work on it over the last few days so it should be ready to go for opening today.

There looks to be a new gym opening up in Rathborne Village in Ashtown when I was there over the weekend. Anyone have any details?

Was in Westend earlier and saw that Wetherspoons was open and busy. The beer garden becomes a decent suntrap in the evenings.

GAP has announced the closure of all UK and Ireland physical stores, moving online only. So that'll be a large empty unit in Westend in due course.

All closing between the end of August and end of September, so it won't be around too much longer.

I remember going to America years ago back in the 90s and getting GAP clothes was always a big thing and you'd have people at home asking you to pick up something there for them. Since they opened in Ireland, I never found their clothes appealing. They seemed very safe and boring.

Larbre34 · 01-07-2021 01:31PM

I remember a Saturday Night Live sketch about them to the effect that they are clothes for people that have given up, something to wear in preference to public nudity. The fit was always terrible tbf.

Reed Footcare Clinic opening soon beside SuperValu Blanch.

miamee · 30-07-2021 03:44PM

Looks like the new JD Sports is now open

Burger King drive thru opening in Maxol Ballycoolin as part of a €1million upgrade of the petrol station site.

Larbre34 · 09-08-2021 08:12PM

Since the arrival of Supermacs and Krispy Kreme in recent years, I have begun to spread. However, I will try out BK, just to make sure it safe for the rest of you.

miamee · 11-08-2021 11:11AM

What a great service you offer Larbre34 😄 I always forget about the Supermacs in Mulhuddart - probably for the best!

Is the Greyhound pub permanently closed now? Was down the village for the first time in ages, looks very derelict. Shame really, was a cracking boozer in its day.

Agree. It's an awful waste of what could potentially be a very nice pub if looked after. Get rid of the late license and strip it back to being a traditional pub.

crooked cockney villain · 16-08-2021 08:18PM

So is it gone for good, on the market to be re opened as a pub, what?

Between the Greyhound, the Shanty, Buda Bar, Dolly Heffernan's, the pub that used to be in Tyrellstown, Heaven nightclub, for a continuously growing area Blanch has lost quite a few drinking establishments while the area continued to grow.

The thing with nearly every one of those is that they all either were originally, or ended up being, kips by the time they closed. Which isn't a great reflection on the area unfortunately.

Budda bar had someone stabbed to death outside it. Plus it was literally sinking (?) from the time it opened.

Shanty was a very dodgy pub.

Greyhound went downhill quite quickly after it change ownership unfortunately.

Dolly's was a nice pub. A shame it closed, but maybe the location had something to do with that? A bit out of the way for a lot of people I'd imagine, especially in comparison to some of the aforementioned pubs being rivals for clientele.

The greyhound is slap bang in the middle of Blanchards town village. It's a shame that someone couldn't take over and make a nice pub of it.

Is it replacing Insomnia? PITA if it is, I always use the drive through and went into it the other week to find it closed and shop fitters in the place assuming they were doing something with it, thought it was a bit soon to have to renovate it.
