Artane Castle Shopping Centre

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 Unicare Pharmacy, Xtravision, Post Office, O2 Store, Books Haven,^[1] Graham O'Sullivan restaurant. Also in the complex is a branch of the local credit union, and a mcdonalds.

Originally when opened the supermarket was Quinnsworth before it was taken over by Tesco.

The spelling Artaine and Artane are both used for the area, and a rock from the original castle stands on the grounds. The centre is beside the site of the Artaine 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 (Tescos) 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.
