The proliferation of convenience stores dosen’t seem to bring the prices down either. A tin of beans for €1.20 in the Londis near me!!!!
Whether Spar, Centra, SuperValu or Londis they all stock the same line of products which makes for a very homogenous streetscape.
The one that stands out as a bit different is the ‘Top in Pops’ (or something like that) shop on Gardiner St, just beside the Parnell St junction. It has a little bit more atmosphere. I remember this here when all the buildings around were ruined. I wonder how long it will last. I must take a photograph before it disappears. A new Spar opened nearby on Cumberland St a while ago and another is due to open soon just opposite.
