An Irish company has announced plans to open a new home and garden store in Cork. 

Galway-based McD's Garden and Home has announced that they are hiring locally ahead of opening its new store in Dripsey. 

The store will be located at the former much-loved Griffin's Garden Centre in Dripsey. 

In March 2021, Margaret Griffin announced that she was stepping back from the business after 35 years and new management was expected to take over the business.

The garden centre was renowned across the city and county, attracting people of all ages to its garden centre, restaurant and, during the festive season, to visit Santa's grotto, and news of its closure was met with disappointment. 

McD's Garden and Home said that the new store will soon open in Dripsey, with “a truly exceptional, driven and proven Store Manager and a Horticulture Team Lead” required to join the team.

McD’s already has two stores in Galway, McD’s at the Green Loughrea which opened in 2009, and its store in Galway city, McD’s at Galway Crystal which opened in 2020.
