Krispy Kreme to open at old Central Bank HQ
American doughnut giant signs deal to establish a ‘fully glazed’ new store so that passers-by can see treats being made
Print1 December 2020
Following the notable success of its first Irish outlet in the Blanchardstown Centre, Krispy Kreme is set to open its second store in Dublin early next year.
The US-headquartered fast food giant will occupy a high-profile unit at the former Central Bank HQ, which extends to 234sq m (2,519sq ft) at plaza level with an additional 89sq m (958sq ft) below plaza level, with a front on to both Dame Street and the walkway joining Dame Street and Temple Bar.
With a queue of 300 customers at the 7am opening of its first Irish store on 26 September 2018, The Irish Times reports the company’s Blanchardstown outlet became its best-performer worldwide within its first year of operation, recording average weekly revenues of almost €300,000.
Krispy Kreme Ireland Ltd recorded revenues of €3.86 million, its accounts show. This equates to an average of €296,923 in sales per week from 29 September 2018 to the end of the following year.
The Central Plaza scheme is being redeveloped by Hines and the Peterson Group.
With a full-glass façade, passers-by will be able to see doughnuts being made inside Krispy Kreme – an attribute which will no doubt tempt a few to venture indoors!
