Lidl!

From high end leather couches to German beans and sauages. Such is the Dublin commercial property market at the moment.

This little nugget was mentioned on Vincent Browne’s review of tomorrow’s papers.

Great post, if that doesn’t sum up the position we’re in now then i don’t know what does!!!

I’m not a snob-I appreciate what Aldi and Lidl do-but College Green is not the place for one of their stores, either from an aesthetic point of view or from their own business plan. Are you sure he wasn’t talking about the Galway shop? (Not that I have a clue about that location.)

I assumed they were talking about Dublin?

It was Dublin I assure you , the layout and placement of the Galway store is simply dreadful , by Lidl standards .

Maybe this is a departure from their usual habitat. (so to speak)

I’ll get me hat.

Equally, attempts to find investors willing to pay €42 million for two adjoining business premises – the Richard Alan clothes shop and the adjoining Zerup building – have proven unsuccessful, and will not have been helped by a prediction from property advisers CB Richard Ellis that business premises on the high street will only sell when values have been cut by 50 per cent.

Ouch !

You couldn’t make it up. Is it wrong that I feel gleeful about this?

With the money saved in Lidl you will be able to go shopping in BTs after you pickup the groceries, or looking at it from a green angle you will be able to reuse that €5,000 handbag from BT’s to carry your groceries home.

I’m sure the landlord will be delighted to have a rock solid tenant like Lidl, although come the next rent review there could be some hard bargaining!

Now I just wish we could have the old Dandelion market back!

I don’t see it happening for some reason, from what I remember the Habitat store was split level, so unless they partitioned it, it wouldn’t match any other lidl stores i’ve seen…?

[Open_Window]

Its a poor offering eeven on an aesthetic level to have in such a lovely building but if it is true tis only symptomatic of the times we live in.

Cheap is the new Chic!
