Phase 2 construction finished by 2005, with stores such as Next, New Look, Tempest, TK Maxx, Argos and SuperValu. Marks and Spencer and Menarys Department Store opened in May 2007. Due to the post 2008 downturn SuperValu closed on 6 January 2009.[2] Phase 2 of the retail park was developed by Patrick J. Doherty.[3]

Riverside Retail Park

Construction of the Riverside Retail Park commenced in 2006. It has a total of 10 retail units. The first store opened in this phase was a ladies fashion clothing store, followed by Donegal Sports and Sony Centre.
