Profits at Copper Face Jacks nightclub complex hit €72m

The millions continued to roll in last year for the company behind the country’s best known nightclub, Copper Face Jacks, as accumulated profits at the firm soared to €72m.

In another stellar year for the company that operates Copper’s on Dublin’s Harcourt St, Breanagh Catering Ltd last year recorded pre-tax profits of €5.16m or just under €100,000 per week.

Boosted by the All-Ireland senior football win by Dublin in September of last year and a booming night-time scene in the capital, the cash mountain at the Coppers firm last year jumped by €5.1m from €54.79m to €59.84m. The company recorded the increase in pre-tax profits after the company’s gross profit — including unspecified “other operating income” — increased by 8.5% going from €11.35m to €12.32m in the 12 months to January 31 this year.
