Try to find out why Boland’s stop selling fishing gear it may be a good indicator.

As said above times are hard and there are harder time still to come.
Have a look at on-line tackle shops and Fleabay and see can you match their prices.

Bolands never had much in the way of stock, anybody I knew went to Pat in Lucan for their gear

Shankill Ahgling Centre closed recently. id say you would want to have a good business plan together before opening it might take a few years to build your trade up and you might want to factor that in. you could be making a loss for a few years.

takes a hell of a lot now for small shops to compete with internet shopping
