POP-up shops will remain part of the retail landscape in prime shopping areas in Cork city in the absence of established overseas brands entering the market, according to the latest report from estate agents Lisney.
In its Q3 outlook report examining commercial activity in Cork, the agent notes that prime retail spots “have been severely hit by the pandemic, with the closure of many high-profile brands, most notably on Patrick St”.
