Retail Excellence is working with Limerick City Council to find ways to improve the shopping experience as part of efforts to rejuvenate the city centre. The lobby group will hold an event later this month with stakeholders in the city regarding generating solutions to help improve retail.

“The meeting is aimed at retailers, and anybody who is a stakeholder involved and interested in the rejuvenation of a city centre like Limerick,” Duncan Graham, head of Retail Excellence, told the Business Post. “I suspect there will be councillors, maybe some property developers, and business people in retail and hospitality there.”
