Airside retail park is a large retail park located close to swords, the M1 and has tons and tons of…read moreparking which means i don't have to go to town or even to the extremely busy Blanchardstown shopping centre for things like household items or toys for the children for christmas. Airside has Smyths, Harvey Norman, Woodies, Petstop and lots more shops as well as a hotel across the road and a few large car dealerships. There is also the famous Wrights the big nightclub there which i was once at but i found it too pretentious. I have been a few time to the retail park but it lacks a decent restaurant after an afternoon's shopping; the big McDonalds drive-in does not attract me although i think there is a starbucks somewhere there?

As these exurban monstrosities come, the Pavilions isn't actually that bad, but I loath out-of-town…read moreshopping centre, so there was never really a terribly good review in the works. Pavilions does have some decent shops. They've got a really big TK Maxx, a tiny Zara and a reasonable-ish sized H&M. There's only two places to sit down and have a cup of coffee, though: a Starbucks (always shite) and another horrible and over-priced café which may or may not be a Kay's Kitchen, but it's definitely in a similar vein. There's a Movies@ cinema there as well which I've not been to (nor am I likely to do so) as Pavilions is pretty much impossible to reach if you don't have a car. Not my first choice when attending to my shopping needs, but you may have gathered that already.

Pavilions is a big shopping centre in Swords. There are a variety of big stores here such as…read moreDunnes, Supervalu, Penneys and some smaller stores as well. Living in North Dublin I sometimes don't wanna head into town and fight the crowds to go to Penneys on O'Connell or Mary Street (I don't drive either) or when I need to get something from Argos. Pavilions is a nice alternate and I can get here in about 15 minutes (by bus). There are a few other standout stores I like here. I've mentioned Penneys and Argos. Aside from those I also really love the Boots here. It's a big Boots store and they've got a good selection of health and beauty stuff that some of the smaller Boots pharmacies won't carry. There is also a large McCabe's Pharmacy as well. There is a Kilkenny Gift Shop, which has Irish made gifts and handcrafts. It's a bit pricey, but if you're looking for something Irish made of high quality this is a great store. There are a few restaurants here, including some fast food types of places and cafes, and some dine in restaurants like Global Burger Kitchen. There is also a cinema, but I've haven't gone to see a movie here yet. Anyway depending on when you go it can be busy, but I haven't been here when it's too crazy. There are a variety of buses that stop just outside the shopping centre (if you don't drive). If you do drive there is a fair amount of parking available.

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.

Happened to find myself @ Airside Retail Park today and this was one of the stores I visited. This…read moreis the second time in a year ive been in this particular store. The first time was January 2012 and the sales where on at it was a fecking nightmare. Parking was almost impossible and you would have thought by the crowds thronging into Harvey Normans that they must be giving the stuff away for free. It was wall to wall with shoppers, the staff where trying to appease everybody and it was utter chaos. I was looking to purchase an American style fridge but I couldn't get adequate attention and the other shoppers where growing impatient at having to wait to be served so I left it on that particular day and purchased my fridge later that mid week closer to home. Today was a horse of a different colour. Midweek, afternoon shopping is always best, no crowds, no queues, plenty of parking, relaxed and considerably more staff to attend to your needs. Harvey Norman is a great place to shop, even if you're only looking to browse or you want to test the "expertise" of the staff with more technical queries. The spaciousness of the the store is the fIrst plus. Goods are well spaced out in the furniture and bedding areas, sections of full bedroom displays with made beds is a real classy selling point. I am in the market for a new bedroom so today was a great day to get a feel of what I wanted. I had plenty of time get a good look at the quality, no issue with giving the bed a good try out, or pull the drawers out and examine thoroughly and to take measurements. We where never hassled by the employees, (which is one thing about furniture shopping I hate, pushy sales persons trying to size you up to reach their monthly targets). The staff kept their distance and allowed us to browse occasionally and politely asking of we required assistance. We spent a couple of hours in the store browsing mostly and had a good rummage in the bargain bins strategically dotted about the place. The range is superb, and the prices seem to be competitive. Harvey Norman also arrange finance and you can get a quote or credit check done in minutes by the staff. Like all big boys I loved looking at the 60" Tv screens and the latest hi-tech surround sound systems, the computer section has hundreds of display items all in working order to try out. Knowledgable staff at the camera section where very informing and not sales pushy which is great. I really enjoyed my day off browsing here and i will definitely be back when I have got the bedroom floors down and the decor sorted.
