there is one in the north at Holywood exchange and it is great for all things sport at reasonable prices, their own brand stuff is fairly decent quality. When I was over in Spain a couple of weeks ago they were doing their own brand electric bikes at €699!!

Hope they add more than just the nine in the south.

I knew I'd seen one around somewhere !

Regular haunt when in France, and have picked up some camping goodies for reasonable prices (table, folding chairs, campinz-gaz ring, etc)

The problem I found with the one in the North is , the price in Pounds is the same figure you will get in Euros in France ie, £10 for same as €10.

They are opening a store in Dublin during 2019. Their preferences is to find a unit to rent in the south Dublin area from Stillorgan to Cherrywood. Afterwards it is proposed to add one or two stores per year around the country. The headlines look to be a 5 to 10 year plan.

I have a load of stuff from them, We visited a few last year, In San Sebastian, one near Bordeaux St Cubzac Essential, which is a kind of smaller store but still a very large one by Irish standards and then the one in Brest which is a massive store.
They have some amazing deals over there, fleeces for 5 euro etc, their Quechua brand is pretty good stuff.
The camping stuff is also reasonably priced, folding tables etc.

Usual for us is off the ferry and straight to Decathlon. The kids love it and we rarely get to pass one without going in.

At this stage I own shares in Decathlon Morlaix - essential shopping on the way to Roscoff.

They are brilliant shops and I am delighted to see them open down south but I have noticed in recent years, their prices are slowly rising to the point of expensive.

Having said that, you can get some serious bargains on sale items.

If you have never been in the new store in Brest , you should have s look next time , about 1/2 hr from the Morlaix shop , easily to get to off the N12 .E50.
