Children’s clothes franchise opens

THE opportunity to become Irish franchisees for fashionable children has been seized by Waterford husband-and-wife team, Trevor and Maeve Cooke, who have opened the first, of what they plan will be a chain of Orchestra outlets, at Georges Street in Waterford City.

To mark the launch they have chosen children’s charity Barnardos as their charity of choice for this year and will be supporting various fundraising projects.

Orchestra’s Waterford outlet on 36 Georges Street is designed and equipped to keep small children occupied while parents can browse in comfort with lots of space to manage buggies.
