Artane Castle Shopping Centre

Opened 1982

Artaine Castle Shopping Centre is a small shopping centre in Artane, Dublin. Its anchor store is Tesco Ireland, with Lifestyle Sports, and Penny's. Other smaller units in the center include Lloyds Pharmacy, Xtravision, HMV, Post Office, 3 Store, Catwalk Shoe Shop, Miss Daisy Florist,^[1] Books Haven,^[2] Graham O'Sullivan restaurant, Funmax. The shopping complex also has a branch of the local credit union, and a McDonalds fast food outlet.

The original supermarket was Quinnsworth when the centre opened, but it was subsequently taken over by Tesco.

The spelling Artaine and Artane are both used for the area, and a rock from the original Artane Castle stands on the grounds. The centre is located beside the site of the Artane Industrial School, and St. Davids CBS. There is an oratory built by the school just behind the shopping centre.

Since the centre is predominantly a Supermarket (Tesco) with a few other shops, it has to compete with large shopping centres such as Omni Park Shopping Centre and Northside Shopping Centre as well as standalone supermarket branches of Lidl and Aldi.
