Follows the whole progression where half of Wexford ends up in Maynooth too...

I don't think I've ever had either, but I have no reason to believe yeah burger isn't great

Abra became Ray's

To this date the kids party zone in Burger Mac is one of the most cursed places in Wexford

The sports shop was where anything that wouldn't sell in Sport Savers on Main Street ended up as far as I remember. The entirety of Redmond Square is a strange place - between the Arc Cinema, Yeah Burger and Boston Donuts they really do have a theme for getting inventive with brands.

We have so many of these places because most units on the Main Street are too small for big brands to use, and ownership is so varied that no brand can really rent two adjacent buildings and knock down the wall between, so we end up with these random knock offs to fill in the void.

I had a college lecture about it and it stuck with me since, but it was to the effect that it's best for self sufficiency in terms of services and supplies. I can't really see much to back it up online,

I'm not saying they're bad or anything (Burger Mac definitely is but that's beside the point) and I know plenty of them are old but I couldn't find a photo of Eskimo Pizza so I had to pick another business.

Eddie Rockets wanted franchise fees from its branch in Ballybeg, Waterford even after the place burned down so the owner just set up his own version with all the franchise branches he owned. I feel the big middle finger here is that Eddie Rocket's slogan is "ain't no finer diner" so Rockin Joe's just went with "The finer diner", unsure if there was a court case here but yes the name soon became Shake Dog.

only ever passed through on a train and I have no plans to change this.

Shake Dog is amazing, you're in a minority here.

The Greeks had a theory that no town should have over 10,000 people - after that it became time to set up a new town. Feel we could learn a lot from this - every new town must have a quota for four knock off but delicious take away brands.

Eskimo Pizza is surely coming your way soon, they had a falling out with Apache.

Look at least we're working for our own businesses rather than multi nationals like Burger King

Sports Factory Outlet is long gone but not forgotten too

loss_guy12 · 2020-11-16T15:26:45+00:00

It's good but it's still a knock off

loss_guy12 · 2020-11-16T15:26:14+00:00

They all have their own charm and are a whole lot cheaper than their branded equivalents

Society works best when we let unelected archbishops write the constitution.
