Decathlon Opens Belfast Store

The well publicized opening of the Sports store Decathlon has taken place. The new store opened its doors on the 17th June 2010 and had laced the car park with some of its equipment, including a range of tents and sports equipment such as basket ball nets.

Considering the publicity surrounding its opening, the crowds were modest and as the first Northern Ireland customers poured through the doors, the staff of the new outlet applauded them, before getting to work. At the opening were the TV/production cameras and even the manager of near by neighbours Ikea popped by and attempted to improve his golf swing.

The store boasts that its sells the gear for 70 sports, whilst impressive, if you're of a more lazy approach to living, the walk around all this gear, will exhaust you. Still, for Northern Ireland its a new and exciting approach to sports. One reservation, amidst all of this good news is that retailers already suffering and who stood by Northern Ireland during its darker years, when big business would not come, will now suffer in this new era.
