Tonight.

At Tesco in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.

Ian Begley tweetz:

People have completely wiped Tesco in Blanchardstown clean of its water. They’d rather die of thirst than drink sparkling!

UPDATE:

Ian addz:

New delivery of water just came into Tesco in Blanch. Being snatched up fast!

One woman in Tesco just asked ‘How many bottles would it take to fill my bath?’

Is this the worst Tesco store in Europe? Dirty shelves, dirty uneven floor. Lack of wheelchair accessibility to the home wares department. Runs out of stock on the basics at times.

Meanwhile Lidl plan to build a new store beside Thurles Shopping centre, SuperValu is currently undergoing renovations and Costcutter in the square was recently renovated in the town. The above stores all offer free parking.

On some of the above developments, Tesco has put in some sort of submission/objection to any development in the town.

Phibsboro’s long awaiting redevelopment of Dalymount Park, the hated Phibsboro Shopping Centre and hotly anticipated new village plaza – is in jeopardy thanks to a supermarket empowered by the custom of the community whose improvement it strangles. This particular branch is among the most profitable and under-invested in the country.

Tesco are opening a new budget range to compete with Lid and Aldi [in the UK]. They’re calling it Jack’s – not sure it’s the best name? Do you think they’ll bring it to Ireland?

Anyone?
