The official "Businesses we need to protect" thread

[MerchantOfEnnis]

The closure of Prime Time hit me, and made me think of those Cork institutions that have been with us forever and will never be replaced.

Someone made a joke about it becoming a vape shop, and after the initial laugh I said "jaysus, yeah."

What shops do we still have that are part of Cork and won't be replaced?

I will start -

Joyce's
Pinnochios
Fitzgeralds Menswear
Murrays
Delias Kitchen

I'd argue that if any of those go, we will never see the likes again. Support them if you can.

All these places have a lifespan.

Once the next generation have no interest in keeping the business going theyre goosed..

Bradley's is a brilliant shout, I can't believe I didn't think of that.

We are haunted to have a shop like that in the city. Lovely people and products you won't find anywhere else in Cork.

Motorways - Across from Harvey Norman's, they're a car accessories shop and they're sound lads to deal with.

 

[Great-Bit-O-Stuff]

Family run shops and cafes, butchers as per above.

 

[Bunk]

Jerry Twomey and Sons on Sullivan's Quay.

 

[El Guapo]

John Buckley sports.

It's an entirely different level of service to all of the alternatives.

Went in there to get a shirt one time and told him I was going climbing Mt Brandon the following weekend.

He got me a colour OS Map he had upstairs.
