Great to see The Cornstore full steam ahead. Looking forward to my next visit.
CORNSTORE & COQBULL GROUP FOUNDER VOWS TO INVEST AFTER 200 JOBS ARE SAVED
Padraic Frawley,Founder and CEO will continue to head up the Cornstore Group, following a period of management by his executive team, Mike Ryan, Linda Frawley, Chris O’Meara, Mags O'Connor and Caroline Ingle, as the group tackled the recent challenging period of administration head-on. Emerging with newfound funding and strategic restructuring, the company has regained stability and has retained over 200 staff, some of whom have been with the groups since they opened.
“It has been a challenging few months for the Cornstore restaurant group, but I am extremely grateful to Linda Frawley [sister] and my senior management team, who have been stoic in keeping positive and remaining resilient during an already tough economic climate for our industry,” Padraic said.
“Together with my executive team and with new funding in place, we look forward to growing from strength to strength this year and beyond, with expansion plans and refurbishments in the pipeline.”
“I would like to thank the local communities in both Limerick and Cork for their never-ending support.”
Mike Ryan, Director of Cornstore Restaurant and Coqbull restaurants, emphasised the importance of supporting local: "Going the extra mile for our customers has always been a number one priority for us and we will continue to support and give back to the community who has kept us going through the difficult times. Sourcing produce locally is not only integral to our ethos but also resonates with our customers, reinforcing our commitment to the growth and sustainability of local food companies in Limerick, Cork, and beyond."
