Tiger to open 10 more shops

The Danish variety retailer Tiger is to open between eight and 10 more stores in Ireland over the next year in addition to the nine already trading. Its most recent opening was at Patrick Street in Cork where it will be paying a rent of €120,000 per annum for a unit of 267sq m (2,879sq ft). Stephen Murray of JLL is advising Tiger which opened its first outlet in Denmark in 1995 and now has 100 stores across 12 countries.

JLL also recently handled the letting of a premises at 63-65 Mespil Road, Dublin 4, to Thunders Bakery, its eight outlet in the city.

Kevin Daly of JLL had been seeking offers in excess of €70,000 for the premises which extend to 199sq m (2,141sq ft) over two floors.
