We are leaning towards two locations, Irish Life Mall in town or Sandyford. We dont think that seasoned brewers will travel as much but the person starting out, who we think will travel that little bit more to have a good talk through the options, parking has also come up as a concern..[/quote:2xhvu709]

What is the ratio of empty premises versus working ones in the Irish Life Mall? Last time I went through there, there was a lot of closed shops and the last thing you want to do is open up in an area that is on the tipping point towards dereliction.

Irish Life Mall is half emtpy, think they had planned to rebuild it before the bust.. Only reason we looked at it is very cheap rents for the middle of town.. Will let you all know anyway. Thanks Donal

I don't think I have EVER been in that place. Have no idea what if any shops are in it. Only time I ever notice it is whilst driving around the back of busaras. I don't even know how one gets into it on foot.
I really doubt that this will be the correct location to capture passing footfall tbh.

As someone already mentioned parking is a big consideration - homebrew stuff is bulky and/or heavy, so being able to park right outside the shop would be a big attraction vs having to park in a multistory and hawk stuff around the place.
