Iconic St Patrick’s Street premises up for rent as major brands eye Cork city centre

There is speculation that fashion chain Zara is eyeing up the former Debenhams store on Patrick Street 

Mandy's fast food outlet occupied the ground floor of the former Woodford Bourne & Co store at 64 St Patrick's St for about a decade, starting in the late '80s. No 65, also once part of the Woodford Bourne wine and spirits business, is now up for rent  Picture: Joe Healy

WITH a slew of new retailers forecast for Cork city centre in 2025, one of the more distinctive premises on main street has just come up for rent at 65 St Patrick’s St.

Leased for 35 years by CIE who used it as an on-street ticket office before sub-letting it in more recent years, the 80 sq m (861 sq ft) ground floor retail space is available at an annual rent of €75,000.
