Follow this newest Chapter via our Instagram Page for all updates and launch date!
Cothú has been born from what we have learned out on the streets at the Markets with our customers, our online feedback and based on our original "Pop Up" Café which we opened in August 2012 as a 10 day "Pop Up" that remained open on a two year lease.
Our Café "Pop Up" was Irelands first Coeliac & Gluten Free Safe Café - Deli.
After the lease was up the rent was increased which was not viable at the time both due to our start up capital budget and the location was not suited due to the first floor access.
When we closed the Café location we moved into a Co- Operative Leased Kitchen Space Initiative in Farranfore Co. Kerry in 2014 but unfortunately the commercial kitchens business that we were tenants of went into liquidation and we were left without a production kitchen, so I moved the business back to my home kitchen where I registered with the Environmental Health Office and I have been trading my business ever since.
I continued to trade our Market Stall & Online Platforms and have been growing the project ever since organically.
Cothú has secured it's own domain name, it is registered in Ireland with the CRO (Company Registrations Office) Reg No. 716235 and is independently supported by The Gluten Free Kitchen Company LTD Reg No. 533347 which is an Independent entity to the current Gluten Free Kitchen Company Brand (Reg no. 461278).
The Gluten Free Kitchen Company LTD are currently awaiting the funding to be approved to open our Central Production Kitchen which will service all of our contracts including the New Cothú Project.
The project is awaiting full capital through introducing funds through our own savings & capital investment, Business Expansion Grant Aid & Partnership investment to make this phase of the project happen!
The Gluten Free Kitchen Company Project has been growing organically since 2011, we are now a multi award winning brand and we have secured a Commercial Production Kitchen in Co. Kerry (Ire) as part of a Local Enterprise Initiative.
We also have a Food Truck Project ready to launch. Our Trucks are being produced custom made in Ireland by an Irish Company and are ready to be wrapped, kitted out and on the road as soon as our New Central Production Kitchen is fully funded, kitted out and ready to trade!
The Food Truck Project is part of an Independent Brand Licensing Project similar to a Franchise where independent business owners can become part of our Cothú Brand and trade independently with the support of our HQ, where the brand will be recognised on a larger platform with the support of our Brand Development and Business Management Team.
This opportunity is available to you for as little as €12,500 ex VAT plus Brand Licensing Fees. You get to work as your own boss under the support of the Brand HQ!
We also have a traditional Retail and Kiosk Project designed for potential start up business partners to join our Co-Operative Opportunity.
We have already established our customer base nationwide and have great plans for the business project.
There are full Financial Projections available for this opportunity and scheduled zoom calls will be facilitated to discuss the opportunity further.
