Xtravision closes in Malahide

I blogged some time ago about the HMV outlet in the Pavilions shopping centre closing and how the centre had lost a "creche for men".

Well, the Xtravision outlet in Malahide closed a few months ago and now the village has no creche for men either!

All my favourite shops are closing!

I didn't really rent movies from there very often: I did buy DVDs though.

I searched the Xtravision site just now and the closest outlet seems to be in Artane.

In fairness I can't really understand how any Xtravision outlets are remaining open. Services like Netflix are killing demand for renting and buying movies. Basically they are cheaper and more convenient.

Still, I will miss the shop.
