I agree, it's the root cause of many of our problems.Then again, I also feel that some commercial rents need to fall by 50-90%.
Overpriced and under-tasty. Irish, Japanese, Indian...it doesn't matter. If your business model sucks, you'll end up bust!
I doubt it.will O'Briens be able to compete?
Mr Sweeney built up a fine business and I would be sorry to see any business fail. However O'Briens were ALWAYS overpriced in relation to similarly good fare from other, individual non-franchised outlets. It is just that now people see that.

Do you think so?
I've never bought anything from O'Briens/Subway etc but I would have easily expected €3.50 or thereabouts TBH.
Bringing in your own lunch is the easiest way to save €20-€25 euro a week - basically €100 a month.
Over the year that's the cost of a holiday to Thailand or somewhere similarly exotic!
I think we'll see other luxuries providers struggle. Car washes, pubs, taxis, fast food.
It is very easy to justify the high costs of all of these luxury items when compared to others but on their own they just don't stack up.
Strangely it's said in a recession, sales of fast food booms because people eat in at home instead of going out to pubs/restaurants etc. I know a new chippie opened up a few hundred yards from where I live a few weeks ago and is doing a bomb

€1200 for a holiday in Thailand... do you stow away on a cargo ship to get there?
