Cork City Council has granted permission for a large buffet-style restaurant in the Merchant\u2019s Quay Shopping Centre.<\/p>\n
YOLO Party Limited applied for permission to open Wing\u2019s World Cuisine on the first floor, consisting of the change of use and amalgamation of multiple vacant units.<\/p>\n
Units A through F10 will be changed to a single, unified, buffet-style restaurant.<\/p>\n
While the restaurant will be accessed from the normal shopping centre entrances on the ground floor, the applicant has also been granted permission for a new entrance to the unit from Patrick Street, through a door that is not currently in use by the public, for customers to use when the shopping centre closes at 6pm.<\/p>\n
The development includes internal demolition, signage (illuminated and non-illuminated), internal reconfiguration of partitions, drainage, bin storage, kitchen, toilets, facilities, plant and associated site works all at ground-, first-, and second-floor levels, with the second floor, which is not open to the public, to be used for back-of-house operations for the restaurant.<\/p>\n
The proposed restaurant will be of a buffet self-service-type style, and will be able to seat up to 286 people.<\/p>\n
A maximum seating time of one and a half hours on weekdays and two hours on weekends will be implemented.<\/p>\n
The applicant operates two similar restaurants, one in Dublin and one in Middlesbrough in the UK.<\/p>\n
Music chain HMV is also set to open in the shopping centre, creating 10 new full- and part-time jobs.<\/p>\n
It comes 12 years after the closure of HMV\u2019s Patrick Street outlet. The store is expected to open before Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cork City Council has granted permission for a large buffet-style restaurant in the Merchant\u2019s Quay Shopping Centre.
