I am thinking of opening up a shop in cork, although i am not sure what type of shop would be succesfull here. Can you think of any shpos that you would like to see more of in cork, or perhaps you think may be missing from the city?? All opinions greatly appreciated

I've always said I'd love to see a Lemon in Cork, like they have in Dublin. Can't beat the crispy breakfast crepe or a chicken tikka crepe.

When can I drop my CV in?

There is a lack of any good late night coffee shops/wine bars as an alternative to pubs. Since Tribes closed there are none at all that I can think of. It might be that the market is not there for it, but it would be nice to have somewhere other than a pub to go at night.

[what the hell!]

A good bakery would be good. It is so hard to actually find a shop where you can just get a tart or a cake. Also when I used to be in the States we used to go to a coffee shop/cafe every morning before work to get our breakfasts. Good coffee, bagels, pancakes that kind of thing. And it would have to be takeaway. None of the bagel places are open early before work.

I was thinking the exact same thing after I read the original post.

What about a literacy shop?

Surely tribes closing points to it being less than viable in the current climate.....

There are some great bakery shops in the market, a beautiful French style cake shop (it does lovely savory tarts as well as fab cakes), also great bread shop and a few other shops selling fab cakes. Also was a lovely Macaroon shop but it closed recently.

Gourmet Pie shop! I can only get cheese and onion pastys in Marks and spencers and they are way overpriced.

A teenage gang hang out, easy to fit out, just a few brick walls and a bit of graffiti, a Vodka Syphon and there ye go.

It opened and closed within 6 months. Was on Princess Street if I remember.

I don't think that was place was set up properly at all. The pasties were horrible and it wasn't inviting enough.

Dont really understand the point of this thread. Surely if someone has a good idea theyre not going to share it for no cut of the profit.

[Bloody Nipples]

Yeah and it also seems like the OP has no business plan in the slightest? So this whole debate seems fairly academic.
