Krispy Kreme has said it will be business as usual for the moment in Cork, despite a refusal issued by City Hall on planning permission for its Patrick’s Street branch.

The retailer had sought retention permission from Cork City Council for a change of use from previous retail use to a cafe, as well as the retention of shopfront and signage at its branch on 42 Patrick’s Street.
