Becoming a retailer and a maker

I grab a cuppa with a retailer and maker who runs a coffee and gift shop on one of Ireland's most famous tourist trails. Caitríona and Kevin Considine founded Moher Cottage at St. Brigid’s Well beside the world-famous Cliffs of Moher. The destination store sells unique, local and Irish made crafts and gifts including award-winning coffee and artisan fudge (that is made in-house). Caitríona didn’t have any retail experience, but that didn’t stop her from starting the business after noticing a gap in the market. She describes how understanding the customers' needs while having a strong belief in herself propelled her on this amazing journey. Topics:Tell us about you and your businessPlanning the coffee shop and storeBecoming a retailer and makerCurating the range and making fudgePlans for the next few months
