THRIFTY shoppers have been left “gutted” after a shock closure announcement by a popular market.
Jamestown Market in Inchicore, Dublin, has been serving the local community for almost 13 years.
The massive warehouse was home to hundreds of stalls selling second hand clothes and homeware items.
It was hugely popular among penny-wise shoppers who headed to the market every weekend.
And it was ideal for those who wanted to nab a bargain without having to splash too much cash.
Located near the up and coming suburb of Inchicore in the capital, the market was open every Saturday and Sunday from 9 o’clock in the morning until 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
Now, the handy spot has made the shock announcement that it is closing for good.
Bosses took to social media to give customers the news, leaving many heartbroken.
And they urged people to make one last stop at the market to scoop last-minute bargains.
The owners dropped the news in a sudden Facebook post.
They said: “Jamestown market is closing down on 23/03/2025.
“Three weekends to get some great bargains and then we’re gone.”
In a separate post, they said: “Jamestown Market last trading weekend Saturday & Sunday 22 & 23 March 2025.
“Don’t miss out on the bargains as everything must go.
“Also drop in and say goodbye to all our traders.”
Those who frequented the stalls were devastated by the news and took to the comments to find out more.
One person said: “The best market in Dublin. Hope the stallholders can relocate.
“Stallholders are the best in the business. Dare I ask, what’s going to happen the building?”
Another commenter added: “Sad to hear this. Great place to get stuff at honest prices.
“Take a bow all the stallholders, you were fantastic and so polite to deal with.”
Somebody else asked: “No! My favourite place and people. Please tell me you’re moving somewhere else?”
But bosses confirmed the worst, saying: “Unfortunately we don’t have another space.”
A fourth put in: “Sad to hear that. This was my Grandfather’s Saturday day out for two hours every week for 10 years.
“We had some good times here great bargains and of course great conversations.”
