Cork furniture firm plans €3m expansion to meet ongoing demand

ONE of the country’s largest furniture stores is to embark on a €3 million expansion.

Planning permission has been granted for a 700-square metre extension at the New Furniture Centre in Blackpool, Cork and the store’s owners are also looking for a second outlet in the city.

The company’s founder and managing director Teddy Barry said that business is very steady despite the tougher trading conditions.
