Debenhams’ confused identity

Friday, November 30th, 2007 by Donncha

bought Irish department store chain, "Roches Stores", back in 2006, and rebranded their store on Patrick shortly afterwards.

Unfortunately nobody has yet replaced the big "Roches Stores" logo at the top of the building. It’s still there, more than a year later! :)

For sale at Sherry FitzGerald

Sunday, November 25th, 2007 by Donncha

These are the swanky new offices of estate agent Sherry FitzGerald in . I find it intriguing that the owners decided to bring in other agents to sell the other floor space in the building.

There are for Savills/Hamilton Osborn King and Lisney on the top floor directly above the "Sherry FitzGerald" logo. I’d be really unhappy about that if I was them and had spent so much money on new offices. :)
