This is turning in Twenty Questions, Bankrupcy Edition.

I guess Burger King, although I believe most of its stores are owned by the master franchiser...

No, nothing to do with food.

Not eddie rockets?? The buffalo wings are to die for!!

lisbon_lions

Not food, is a franchise, one is on Oconnell St.

Music perhaps?

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Well, if I was a guessing man.... I'd probably take a guess....

its obvious the mystery franchise on o'connell st. is super macs. ummmm so nothing to do with food.

left or right hand side?

Last clue, it is on the same side of the street as the Savoy. That's all I'm saying! And it's not a Supermacs/Burger King/Food operation... It has outlets all around the country.

Gummy Panda

Sony centres i'd guess

L1011

Ah yes, Sony Centres are a franchise jobbie... could very very well be. Market for big expensive electronics is gone and all.

I was going along the MSN Live birdseye view of the street trying to remember all the shops there!

Heraldoffreeent

Are sony centres not owned by peats?

L1011

Peats own some of the stores; not the master franchise. According to Darragh whatever company it is has a dying master franchiser.

RGDATA!

is it the happy ring house?

Snake Plisken

Well it will be a pain as Xtravision will have a monopoly, live in lucan and because Chartbuster used to do two new releases for 2 nights for €8 the Tescos Xtravision had to run the same deal that will deal now disappear

Is the answer to the guessing game Golden Discs? I dont know if theres one on O' Connell street or not but I heard somewhere recently that the copany was in the red

Doesn't sell musical products or rings...

Examinership does not mean what you think it means.

It's quite possible they'll survive this.

yeah it's burgerking :rolleyes:

Eoin

He's said it's not food related. I didn't know there was a Sony centre on O'Connell Street, but I've heard from other sources that they are in trouble.

SantryRed

Must be Burger King

Darragh29

Seriously folks, not a food outlet of any sort...

Gummy Panda

maybe a pharmacy?

there is a few there on upper o'connell street

Talking Head

Burgerking maybe?

Kirnsy

in fairness with movies so easily availible to buy for cheaper...this was only a matter of time.

sure zavvi in Dundrum is cutting prices left right and centre.

though its sure getting scary now...not many places to rent movies now.

Crash

I think its burger king.

The organisation I'm referring to, the whole business is in trouble, not just the outlet on O' Connell Street. If I was referring to Burgerking on O' Connell Street, it would just be this particular outlet which wouldn't be much news now, would it???

javaboy

Fine Darragh, have it your way. Don't tell us.

There was a version of the game Trivial Pursuit for the old Commodore 64 back in the day. Due to the nature of the game, there was no reliable way of inputting the answer. The solution they decided on was that when playing with friends you would say the answer out loud, then press the button to reveal the answer. It would then ask you if you got it right or not. Obviously if you were with friends, they would make you answer yes or no honestly.

But when playing alone, the great thing was you could just pick yes even if you didn't know the answer. The computer would have no way to know if you were lying or not and you'd get all the widgets you wanted! Still I knew there was something very unsatisfying about that even at 6 years of age.

You're basically predicting rain when storm clouds are already gathered overhead Darragh. You could be privy to absolutely no insider information and yet your prediction will almost inevitably be true anyway.


Also, is it Burker King?

brendansmith

Its burger king, has to be.
No business can sell such good food on the go for such low low prices and make a profit.
It cant be done!!

Has to be Burger king so

UnitedIrishman

FFS, it's been made abundantly clear at this stage that it is most definitely Burger King.

remus808

Definitely Burger King.

Is the answer Jesus?

ShooterSF

No he hasn't be caught touching underage kids. A lil birdy hinted to me that the franchise may allegedly be in financial trouble.
But you didn't hear that here :nudge: :nudge:

It's understandable when you think of it. Those young go-getters working there who pour their heart and soul into each meal have obviously got word of the situation and have now lost the motivation to shine in the hope that they'll climb that competitive corporate ladder.
It's a sad day.

brendansmith

King of all the burgers, how proud he must be.

Burger King > Mc Ds.

Holy sh!t!

You heard it here first everybody, confirmed report that Burgerking outlets will now be trading under the name McDonalds in the near future.

Tell everyone you know now!!!

Rabies

Prob all get turned in to Subways *blurgh*

Linku

What exactly are we talking about here? All BKs in Ireland are under franchise, so those or the parent company?



I'm sick and tired of people starting threads like this about various companies with zero facts, and no links.
