Main Street Retailing
Ireland's Main Streets are still a major draw, despite the growing number of out-of-town shopping centres. Notably, many major British 'high street' names now operate in the Republic of Ireland, such as Dixons, Next, Debenhams, Topshop, Boots, Superdrug, Argos, Dorothy Perkins, Maplin, Currys, T.K. Maxx, PC World, Game Stop and others. Irish equivalent retailers and brands still exist and are still widespread: such as newsagents Eason & Son, record stores Golden Discs, pharmacy chains Hickey's, Sam McCauley's, & McCabes, also Heatons department stores, and smaller but well known chains e.g., Dubray Books; and relative newcomers Fran and Jane, and so on.

“If I should go out of church whenever I hear a false statement I could never stay there five minutes. But why come out? The street is as false as the church, and when I get to my house, or to my manners, or to my speech, I have not got away from the lie.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
