Ronan ‘hopeful’ Bewley’s will reopen on Grafton Street


Developer Johnny Ronan’s Ronan Group Real Estate (RGRE) has said it remains hopeful that Bewley’s will reopen its historic Grafton Street cafe next Monday, notwithstanding its recent announcement of its intention to close its doors permanently.

While a spokeswoman for Bewley’s told The Irish Times that the company was now “fully focused on engaging” in a “sensitive and considerate manner” with those employees affected by the “proposed” closure they declined to comment on the note to customers posted on Bewley’s website stating that the Grafton Street cafe would merely remain “closed until further notice”.

The Covid-19 update adds that it “hopes to see each of you again once this has passed” and directs customers to check the Grafton Street cafe’s Instagram and Facebook pages for further information.

Asked yesterday to clarify Bewley’s intentions in relation to its Grafton Street premises, the company’s spokeswoman said there was “no further information” to add to its statement of May 6th last.

On that occasion, Bewley’s confirmed that it had written to its Grafton Street staff to inform them that it “is likely to be necessary to permanently close the cafe over the coming weeks”. The company added that the “proposed closure would result in the loss of all jobs in the cafe”.
