Paraffin fashion move

Slick operator the Kerry-based men’s fashion retailer Paraffin has taken a prominent unit on Cork City’s Princes Street via agents Lisney, while Savills have found a Wexford-based ice-cream maker for a unit at the corner of Cook Street and Oliver Plunkett Street.

Lisney have reserved 39 Princes Street, a double-fronted shop near the English Market entrance vacated last year by Enable Ireland and which was, for previous decades, Mackeys delicatessen.

It’s been taken by second-generation Tralee clothes retailers the Boyle family for another in their expanding chain of men’s fashion shops called Paraffin, and has 1,500 sq ft retail/stock space.
