Headford Road Shopping Center Shake-Up | Galway News

Headford Road’s shopping center is in flux—Koztello’s hair salon and a revamped cafe with drive-through are new faces, while electric car charging stations are coming soon. Nando’s now occupies the old Bodkin Point space, but longtime tenants like Ashford Collection, DK Shoes, Newspoint, and both Born stores have vanished. Big chains like Penneys and Tesco remain secure thanks to solid leases, but newer businesses on short-term licenses face constant risk. Rising costs for rent, staff, and energy are squeezing small shops, making way for bigger chains. Yet there’s also fresh energy: Planet Entertainment Centre expanded, Pamela Scott, Carraig Donn, Cex, and even a new nail bar opened in March—showing a dynamic mix of old and new reshaping the scene.
