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.
Carlow is a charming town. The first thing that struck on this town centre location was that it's…read morequite a small place, yes compact and bijou describes it tidily. It was a cold, wet day; as I walked in I was glad that we parked somewhere else as it was darn full and the allocated space per car isn't generous despite the fact that it's pay parking. I really do detest having to pay to park to shop. The next thing that struck was just how few shops there were that I'd be interested in; for me it's a completely forgettable place. There's a Penney's, now doubt their flagship store, a Peter Mark, an overpriced Gelato place and a Nickel cafe where there's nothing that costs a nickel. So if I were standing outside it again I'd be unlikely to go back inside, I'd go somewhere else.
Not being a native, I find this mall quite cute. Everytime I visit family here I come and I always…read morebuy lots of stuff for myself and those back home. No, it doesn't have fancy shops selling Louis Vuitton merchandise and the like but if I was looking for that I'd go directly to that shop. Overall it's nice, has a movie house, went to see Ferdinand with my 7 year old and my husband and had a great time after shopping n then going to eat across the street from the mall.

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.

It's Ireland's answer to Wal-Mart. Yes, I know I'm quite the phrase-maker, but it's true. Jamie W…read more and I came upon the expansive single-floor one in central Kilkenny as we were leisurely strolling to our hotel on Patrick Street after a hearty evening of lamb stew, slabs of Irish beef, pints of Guinness, and plenty of song at Kyteler's Inn (review: http://bit.ly/2lWIzzw). We saw a huge store through the windows looking downward at all the merchandise for sale - household wares, clothing, and a large supermarket (photo: http://bit.ly/2lCMTsc). There's just something about exploring a supermarket in a foreign land that gets me all giddy. Seriously. This market was huge and looked very much like any American supermarket toward the Whole Foods end of the spectrum. I knew I was in Ireland when I saw the extensive collection of whiskey on the shelves in the liquor section (photo: http://bit.ly/2mWrRVH). Faith and begorrah. As we crossed over to the meat section, everything was labeled Irish - Irish gammon steak, Irish back bacon joint, Irish chicken (photo: http://bit.ly/2lCSTRN). Proud stock they are on the Emerald Isle. Obviously proud of their meat. We just shopped for almost healthy snacks like chocolate-dipped rice cakes for the next day's road trip across the country to Dingle. Those were portable and tasty. Coincidentally, Dunnes was a takeover target of the Walton family at the turn of the millennium, but Ireland's major store chain remains family-run, presumably a wealthy family given there are over 125 stores in the chain. We found the stores so convenient that we ended up stopping at Dunnes in Galway and Dublin for our travel snacks.
Nice one stop shop! Dunnes offers clothing (decent quality, decent prices), home goods such as…read moretowels, linens, decorations, kitchen items, and FOOD! The supermarket was my favorite part as there's a great selection of meats, dairy products, sweets (candy, cookies, fresh baked cakes), coffee, teas, soda, chips... You name it.a great place for a tourist to see a European supermarket and to try the food! Also - this Dunnes has an awesome parking lot that is very convenient especially if you want to see the city centre.

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.

It does seem a bit bigger than the other locations I've been to. Only downside is that it was a disaster when I came in. Clothes were all over the floor and hung up in a haphazard mess.

I've mentioned previously that I love cafés with books in them. Well, this is a book store with a…read morecafé in it. Coffee and books are two of my favourite things so I was delighted when I discovered this place. The tables are dotted in amongst the bookshelves, which may sound lovely but when you're having an intimate chat with your little sister and other customers are nosing around, it tends to stilt the conversation. It was here that I first came across the Fifty Shades of Grey book. Oops, that came out wrong. Quick book review: It was so bad that I skipped ahead to the sex scenes and they even turned me off so I didn't finish. I think I'd better stop writing now coz your mind's in the gutter.

Might be ok for re-heeling cheap shoes but if looking to repair anything expensive run a mile!
Yelp 100 Challenge 2019 - # 70/100…read more Love this store at the Kildare Premium Outlets. All the employees were so nice, friendly, and helpful. We spent almost an hour thinking of just browsing through but we found deals we couldn't pass up. I bought this really nice and comfy sweater/hoodie. My favorite now that it is mostly cold at night in SoCal. This keeps me warm and toasty. Didn't know about Super Dry, and I just found out they have 6 stores here in SoCal. Woot.
Yelp 100 Challenge 2019 - #64/100…read more The first store we went to was Kath Kitson's, the feminine, flowery stuff is not really my style. I did find some breakaway lanyards that I can definitely use for my work ID. Then we checked out Kipling. It is pricier than the stuff that I can get Stateside but the designs here are a lot more exciting. Spent most of our time in Super Dry and found some good deals. Then took a coffee break at Starbucks then continued with our shopping spree. Found the cutest coat at Joules. The workers in each store were super friendly and helpful. Their toilets were nice, clean, and well-maintained. There was enough parking spots.
I ambled around this seriously over-priced place for about half an hour. When the pound to euro…read moreratio was near one forty it was still overpriced, and now its only ten per cent then it has almost zero attraction for me. I walked by an on - street doughnut & coffee cart and their idea of a deal for a coffee and doughnut was €5. I'm pleased to say that my money stayed in my pocket. I also priced a sweet/savoury crepe stall but again their cheapest sweet crepe offering was about €5 with savoury more expensive. No chance; I have no intention of handing over five euro for fifteen cents worth of pancake batter and yes I know some sugar and stuff will be added but even with that, the mark-up is eye watering and I simply refuse to be ripped off. Still I was determined to see if someone could entice me to spend money and I came across a Thai street food place and while it was near noon and devoid of customers the smell of cooking oil invaded the area. So that was enough to persuade me to keep walking. The place is very well kept and their little flower displays and some of their art and sculpture are pretty indeed. I departed with the same amount of money as I arrived with. My wife of course well that's a whole other story.
