In-store Wi-Fi and seating among plans to get more teens into city centre shops

Retailers in Cork are planning a series of workshops with teenagers to find out how they can improve the retail offering to a vast untapped teenage market.

It follows the release of new research by students at St Angela’s College, facilitated by the Cork Business Association (CBA) and the city council, which highlights some of the perceived barriers which teenagers say discourage them from shopping in the city centre.
