There are plans for Crumlin Shopping Centre to undergo a "major revamp" with Dunnes Stores reportedly set to replace it with a larger two storey mall.
As reported in The Times, the iconic shopping centre was first built in the 1970s and at the height of its popularity contained once had 49 shops, a bank, a pub, hairdressers and more. But since the 2010s, shops have gradually started to close and many will remember how in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic Texas Fried Chicken was the most recent to pull out of the shopping centre.
Now, only a solitary Dunnes Stores supermarket remains at the much-loved shopping centre, while the rest of the centre is closed off to the public. However, now there are fresh plans in the pipeline for the centre which could give it a new lease of life.
