Firm leading rent revolt plans customer offer

THE company leading a rent revolt plans to use the money it withholds from its landlord for a massive consumer giveaway next week.

Mobile phone retail giant, The Carphone Warehouse, is embroiled in a row with the owner of the Wilton Shopping Centre in Cork over proposed rent hikes.

It confirmed last night that it will, from next week, withhold the increase due and use the money to run two special offer deals at all its Cork stores next week.
