Eight Dublin off-licences in the Fitzgerald Group are to trade under the independent Carry Out brand, Ireland’s leading specialist off-licence franchise.
The new trading partnership brings to 100 the number of independently owned Carry Out off-licences now operating in Ireland. The 100th group store is Louis Fitzgerald’s Carry Out off-licence at The Penny Hill, in Lucan, west Dublin, recently rebranded in this major trade deal. Carry Out, acquired by the Cork retail franchise and wholesale operation Mallow-based Barry Group in 2009, complemented the Group’s Costcutter and Quik Pick convenience retail brands. The new trading arrangement was welcomed by both Louis Fitzgerald and his son Eddie Fitzgerald, the latter being the main instigator of the Carry Out off-licence deal. “In reviewing our off-licence operations, Eddie was convinced of the benefits of being part of a strong national brand. The enhanced services and range from Carry Out, as well as better buying power and price we could offer our customers was a key decider”, the hospitality group boss said. Jim Barry, Managing Director of the Barry Group in Mallow, said that having the Fitzgerald Group as part of the Carry Out operation was a major vote of confidence in the independent off-licence brand.“We are delighted to welcome retailers of the calibre of the Fitzgerald Group on board, and to celebrate the significant milestone of our 100th Carry Out off-licence in Ireland. We see this move as a resounding endorsement for the excellent range, services, and pricing that Carry Out offers independent off-licence opera
