    It's a standardised format. They don't go to places and see how long it takes from a to b.

    A fairly simple algorithm spews out most of these statistics.

    It simply gives an oversight.

    Unfortunately Waterford is not even close to making the top tier for many retailers. Some will want to put 3 or 4 formats into a location eg Timberland, Vans and North face are all the same company. They need the population to support the business.

    Good local retailers are the life blood of places like Waterford. Support them and more will open

    I think a lot of problems are affecting Waterford are things that are outside our control, you see the shops like Gamestop, Argos, Shoezone, Debenhams, close shops, Ted Baker to close shops in Dublin being the latest.

    A big blow for independent retail in the city with the news of Finders Keepers and Bebhinn closing up in the coming weeks.

    As you seem to have some detailed knowledge about retail populations could I ask that you help me better understand by providing me with some references or website details for the data you quote please? The numbers seem counterintuitive for Waterford.

    a staff member in Aldi in the glen said their new store in City Square is delayed as Dunnes have taken an injunction.
