The original CEX Galway Shopping in Williamsgate Street,  just off Eyre Square,  shortly after it closed in late July 2025.

N17 Electrical and Furniture, Tuam Rd

N17 Electrical and Furniture opened in the North Point Centre on the Tuam Road on 4 Feb 2024.

With other branches in Milltown (north Co Galway) and Ballina Co Mayo, this is a warehouse-sized shop which sells exactly what it says - electrical appliances, and furniture.

For many years, they've had a Galway City store in Briarhill Business Park, but the move to Tuam Rd has allowed them to extend the furniture range.  

Signage on the building is is discrete to start with, but likely to get bolder over time.

The NorthPoint store is open Monday - Friday 9:30am - 6pm, and Saturday 9:30am - 5:30PM.   Closed on Sunday.
