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.

The food here seems to be decently priced, and they have really delicious baguettes. Pair them with Irish brie, and you've got one of the most delicious snacks I've ever had. Yum! This place is super close to where my mom lives, too, which is nice for her. The cart system here is interesting (you have to pay 1 euro to get a cart, and you get it back when you return the cart). I guess it probably helps keep the carts at the store!

Beautifully designed, bright and airy shopping place.

I mean just to deviate a moment a young Guy mid 20's was being interviewed on telly and asked about face masks etc he said 'I don't believe in Covid' as his rationale for not using a mask or sterilisation. So next time he gets a cold what will he believe it to be. Maybe if like Covid the virus was 10,000 times larger than, rather than smaller than, a grain of salt he might believe. That's the kinda stupid no one can legislate for. Rant over. This place has a Costa, a Dealz (unimpressed by this place) Elverys Sports - a local independent and a Penny's. Now it also has a TK Maxx - a store that I will occasionally amble around as it can throw up some foodie surprises. Last time I got poached pears in an amaretto syrup, and weirdly coloured yellow, pink and black Italian pasta. They can produce some of the more weird and wonderful coffee beans too. Now just remember TK don't do food bargains even though the price labels show a discounted and higher prices so you'll see 227 g of coffee at £6 was £12 - £6 is more than enough for this weight. They had a kilo of illy coffee and their discount price was near twice a local supermarket price. So go here for the foodie off beat, the different stuff you usually don't find locally. You might be glad you did. But I did something right out of character I bought socks. They didn't come out right - I do wear socks but it's M&S for a lifetime. Socks from bamboo who'd a thought. What next. What would be really even more weird would be the re election of Mr Trump. There's an old saying here. Fool me once you're the fool. Fool me twice and I'm the fool. Watch this space.

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.

I didn't buy anything. I didn't want to buy anything. I walked through it and out. Took me a few minutes. I'd be quicker had I been younger. Last time I was there they charged customers just to use their restrooms. I didn't even bother to check if they still did. Taking the p when yiu need a p. Capitalism and money grabbing at its worst.
