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.

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or street:
“The chief misery of the decline of the faculties, and a main cause of the irritability that often goes with it, is evidently the isolation, the lack of customary appreciation and influence, which only the rarest tact and thoughtfulness on the part of others can alleviate.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
