Odd Bins uncorks plans for Dublin stores

UK Off-Licence multiple Odd Bins is planning to open about half a dozen outlets in Dublin. The first store in Baggot Street is due to begin trading in the first week of December. The company, which is part of the Seagram group, is also expected to look at the opportunities for opening further stores in provincial cities at a later stage. Odd Bins is understood to be in the process of acquiring a number of existing licences in the Dublin area to allow it to expand quickly. Off-licences are now valued in the city at between £80,000 and £100,000. The multiple has 234 off-licences in the UK, 98 of them in the greater London area.
