New Business Maynooth

heffo500

Hi

I'm currently in my final year in maynooth and one of our assignments is to make a business plan of a new business we would set up in maynooth.

So as I don't live in maynooth, I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone had any ideas of need for a new business in maynooth,

We're not allowed franchisee so Subway is out of the question.

Thanks in advance.

Cinema.
Subway (oops).

There hasn't been a decent menswear shop (e.g. not tat or mentally priced) in years.

We're utterly full of pharmacies, coffee shops, restaurants, newsagents anyway.

Thanks a lot are doing the cinema so we wanted to do something different.

We considered a funeral home, grinds schools which uses students from nui maynooth to give the grinds.

New funeral home already being built on Leinster Street in the old dispensary. Can always say you didn't know that though

Thats what we thought but some of the group didnt warm to the idea

Corkbah

photography studio aimed at linking into the college for graduation photos and organised events.

Moonbeam

Bike shop
I would be thinking a little different if I was you .
Maynooth has a lot of students and a lot of old people .
Do you have a particular area of general interest ?
Music/comics/food/animals/kids /anything

I know one group is doing a bike shop its a big group of us doing this 10 in total so our interested would be varied.

Vintage clothes shop? Old-fashioned sweet shop?

L1011

At least two shops in the town have tried selling old-fashioned sweets. Its extremely low margin and very faddish (and probably beyond the end of its fad, too).

Does it have to be a shop? A business right? How about a garage/motor dealers?

Lucena

Craft beer bar?

Councillor

I suggest All Weather pitches (Astroturf) by leasing Council Land at Blacklion.

Already a grinds school above the coffee mill where most of the grind teachers are NUIM students.
