This shopping centre is located on the Avoca river in Arklow. It's ok... The choice of shops isn't…read moreexactly what you'd call diverse. It's mostly made up of clothes shops, an Eddie Rockets and a cinema. It lacks variety, a gift shop or something would be a nice edition. The only thing close to a gift shop is either TK Mass or the Euro Giant. TK Mass can be quite expensive and the Euro Giant is... Well... It's full of cheap tat... It's kind of strange, but there's a strange correlation between the success of a shopping centre and the presence of a Euro Store. You'll often find that the ones that are struggling will have one and the more successful centres won't.

Well first of all here's my first review of this place. I've already done reviews on yelp only to…read morefind they've disappeared along with photos. So if this one disappears I won't be doing another one. Right here it is. If one considers the tourist office as the centre of Mullingar then this place is about an 8 to 10 minute walk. Mullingar is a charming Irish town with a lot of character and darn good foodie places. Just beside the tourist office stands a statue of Joe Dolan a famous Irish singer alas now dead. I'm pleased to say I saw him live and wow what an unusual voice. He had a number three hit in the UK in the 1969 when the charts had Elvis In the Ghetto (originally titled the Vicious Circle) David Bowie Space Oddity, Credence Clearwater Revival Bad Moon Rising with the amazing voice of John Fogerty who brought bluesy swamp rock to the hippie masses; Fogerty also holds the distinct honour of being one of the few musicians to be sued for sounding too much like himself. I digress again. This centre is a tad unusual as it has local businesses in it including a local barbers, a florist, a jewellers, a fruit & veg shop and a local butchers. Most shopping centres have the usual multi national and national names. This place has Boots, Holland & Barrett, a CarPhone warehouse and also has Dunnes Stores selling food & drink in one store and clothing and shoes in another store. The local butchers Tormeys has an on site Himalayan salt dry cure beef ager so I bought a few sirloins. I didn't need a coffee so avoided the Esquires coffee place. Worth a visit if you are close by.

Right, so the know the way that TK Maxx is great idea (cheap clothes and low prices and all that…read morelark). But, you'll also not have failed to notice that it doesn't work out that well in practice - a scrum of people rifling through aisles and aisles of clothing, everyone getting all sweaty and bothered before they try on the t-shirt that you were thinking of buying. Eew. And the TK Maxx in the Pavilions in Swords was no different to the other ones all the other times that I've been there, except that you can't go to a nice coffee shop to recuperate afterwards, as you are in the hell that is a gargantuan suburban shopping centre, and you have to make do with a shitty and soulless Kay's Kitchen. Double eew. All of that changed earlier on today, however. For this morning (Monday) I went to TK Maxx in Swords and hardly recognised the place. There were literally only about another twenty or thirty in this vast shop, so there wasn't the usual feverish mill that one associates with the chain. I was there a little over an hour, and in that time, I managed to pick out and purchase 4 jumpers (in the summer, I know, I'm a tool. And they were all knitwear into the bargain.) Within this relatively small window, I also tried on but rejected about six t-shirts. You know when you have one of those days with the TK Maxx t-shirt aisle? Yeah, it was one of those days. This sparseness of shoppers makes sense, though: people would tend to be in town during the week, and so might stop off at TK Maxx and make it all horrible and crowded and sweaty. Whereas people only go to horrible retail monstrosities like the Pavilions at the weekends. So, if you want to stock up on your cheap designer labels, head out to 'burbs on a weekday morning and escape a little of the drudgery.

Penneys is pretty good but it is always swamping with Grannys on Thursday and can get very hectic,…read moreMost of the time they are very messy and clothes are mostly on the floor and hung up places randomly, It is very cheap though so I guess they have that. Most of staff was good but one girl called Mary was on her phone instead of helping us customers , the other staff members were very helpful some stuff was really nice and some things were a bit questionable, but overall penneys is pretty good so i probably will come back.
