AHHHHH! It’s finally happened, and I can finally talk about it!
Hello, again, everyone! I must apologise for my relative silence over the last weeks and months, but here’s why – we’ve been working on a deal to bring Murphys Ice Cream to Dublin, and I’m delighted to announce we have the keys!
So, as of now we have possession of two premises, both formally occupied by Haagen Dazs, one on Wicklow Street, and one on Temple Bar Square.
There! It’s out! Ahhhhh.
It’s not easy for a blogger to keep secrets, and I feel so, so much better!
Given that finalising the deal took so much longer than expected and that the summer is upon us, we are going to try to open as quickly as possible (a matter of weeks), even if the shops are not quite perfect. We hope you’ll understand that we’ll have time to improve the shops once the summer is past and that you’ll forgive any bits that are not perfect!
I’ll pass on more news as we go along.
WHOOP, WHOOP!
Best of luck with the new shops. Hope it works out for you guys.
Excellent News, just the best!
Congrats!
Eoin
My dream of tasting some Murphy’s Ice Cream will come true!
Congratulations, Kieran and the rest of the Murphy’s gang. Heard so much about the products in the past so I’m looking forward to trying them the next time were down in Dublin.
Congratulations. I hope the shops are filled with hungry punters all summer long – think you should open a shop in Limerick next though. 🙂
That’s fantastic news! Congratulations!! Can’t wait to pop in and say hello…
Great news, nice and close to me as well 🙂
Great to hear of business expansion in current climate. You’re like the Guards – born in Kerry, move to Dublin! Every good wish for your new shops. Lucky Dubs.
Kieran, this is amazing news.
I am really delighted to hear it.
Can’t wait to be trying sea salt icecream straight from one of your brand new stores.
That’s great news, good luck with it all and will be in for an ice cream or two when you open!
Nothing short of awesome. Congratulations.
Best of luck with this venture Kieran. Will be bringing my kids for a special visit to St Stephens Green as soon as you open – that should take care of the first months sales.

Great news and a brave move. All the best very exciting times ahead for u all @ Murphys
Can’t wait to visit! Best of luck and congratulations on taking the plunge!
Sounds great, can’t wait 😀
Although I thought I remember walking by the Haagen-Dazs shop in Temple Bar on Saturday and it still open…
YES! Finally! I am delighted. Now must dash and tell husband…
Not one but two! You Murphys boys never did do things by halves! Congratulations and looking forward to checking them out in the not so distant future.
Thanks a million, everyone! We’re both terrified and very excited! 🙂
I don’t believe it (as Victor Meldrew would say). I live in Dublin for years, I move to Clare and ye open two shops in Dublin!! Arghhhh. How about Clare too??
Well done and we wish you the very best of luck for the future.
Great news, we have added you to our site http://www.WhoseView.ie so your customers can post reviews and spread the word on how great we know your ice cream to be.
Congrats and good luck !
Great news! We will haunt your shop on Wicklow Street. Brave, but not foolhardy, move. Keep ‘er goin’!
Know your Killarney shop well, and am delighted two shops are now opening in Dublin! Wishing you every success.
The most expensive ice cream in Ireland e7 for a small tub and cone !!!! Is it just for rich americans ?
Well, no, most of our customers are Irish! We work very hard to make our ice cream the best it can be, and I’m sorry you don’t feel it was good value. If you email me via this site, I’ll be happy to organise a refund.
That is just brilliant! Your ice-cream rocks – we will make it a family day out when you open. Bonne chance!
