Just weeks after top fashion store Born unveiled a super new and incredibly busy 4,734sq ft unit at Killarney Outlet Centre, exciting news has emerged that another hugely popular retailer is to open there on Thursday, next week.

Children’s fashion specialists Mods & Minis have announced plans to move base from Deerpark to the town centre to occupy the former Tiger store on the ground floor of the spacious shopping centre.

Hugely popular with locals and visitors, Mods & Minis first opened its doors to the public in 2004 and it has been a real success story.

Founder Deirdre McCloskey, who is from Killarney, successfully set out to create a space where families could not only shop for the latest trends and styles in children’s clothing but where they could create memories while enjoying an exceptional customer experience.

The arrival of Mods & Minis is another big boost to Killarney Outlet Centre, which is now under new ownership, and further exciting news on great new tenants will emerge in the coming weeks.

“This is a great endorsement of Killarney Outlet Centre which is really developing at a very fast and impressive pace,” said centre manager Paul Sherry.

“We will have more exciting news coming very shortly and it’s great to welcome new tenants who will attract new customers and add to the overall shopping experience at Killarney Outlet Centre,” he said.

There will be a real party atmosphere at the new Mods & Minis store on opening day, from 10.00am, and shoppers can avail of amazing exclusive offers, a super summer sale with a whopping 50 per cent off and the unveiling of fabulous new stock.

From 11.00am to 1.00pm there will be live entertainment and face painting for the children – and the young at heart – and an opportunity to meet and greet and maybe get a selfie with a host of hugely popular characters including Buzz, Woodie, Peppa Pig, LOL Doll, Sofia the First and Olaf.

The development, which will be built on a recently cleared site near An Post’s sorting office, will include a variety of properties from five-bed houses to single apartments, along with a crèche and over 500 car spaces and over 300 bike spaces.

The development has been welcomed by local councillor Martin Grady.

“Killarney has a massive housing shortage so this is very positive. It will retain young families in the area, stimulating economic growth,” he said. “After 17 years of different planning applications it’s finally coming to fruition.”

Residents in the Ballydribeen are living in fear as a result of increased anti-social behaviour in the estate.

Several serious incidents in the estate have resulted in several Garda visits in the last week.

Local councillor Martin Grady told the Killarney Advertiser that residents are “living in fear” as a result of very serious incidents in the last week alone.

One house in the estate was badly damaged when fire crackers were placed inside a letter box.

Another house had its windows smashed in over the weekend.

“It’s a major problem,” added Grady after meeting residents there earlier this week.

One of the most serious incidents occurred on Tuesday night.

A passing motorists had rocks thrown at his car while driving along the bypass whch is adjacent to the estate.
Taking to social media, local primary-school teacher Pádraig O’Sullivan posted:

“Travelling home tonight, at 11.05pm on the Killarney side of the bypass our car was hit by a rock – not a pebble – from the Ballydribben side , which hit the passenger door.

“It was centimetres away from hitting the window where my father, who is visually impaired, was sitting.

“This could have caused catastrophic permanent injury to him.

“The Killarney Garda were on the scene within three minutes.

“They can’t be patrolling the bypass all night.

“It comes down to parenting. You should know where your children are at this hour and be able to teach them what’s funny and what ruin a person’s life or cause a fatal crash.“
