You already know something isn't right. Maybe it's margins, maybe it's the deli, maybe it's a team that isn't performing. I've been in your shoes. Let me show you the way out.
If any of these are keeping you up at night, you're in the right place.
I grew up in Galway and got my first retail job at 16. By my mid-twenties I was one of the youngest SuperValu managers in Ireland. Then a decade with Musgrave Retail Partners, overseeing 22 stores across the region.
In 2011 — right in the depths of the recession — I took Mountain Top in Letterkenny from receivership and built it into one of the busiest retail destinations in Donegal. A Centra, Kelly's Diner, a petrol forecourt, 70 staff, 22,500 customers a week.
"I know what it feels like to lie awake worrying about a store. I also know exactly what it takes to fix it."
In 2024 I stepped away and started this consultancy. I work with a small number of clients at a time. When you work with me, you work with me directly.
I come to your store, spend time on the floor and review your numbers. You leave with a prioritised plan — specific to your operation, not a template.
Most stores are leaving 15–25% in sales on the table through layout alone. I find where the money is being missed and show you how to get it back.
Deli is your highest-margin opportunity — and the source of your biggest waste. I've run one of the most popular deli operations in Donegal. I know both sides.
The difference between a good store and a great one is nearly always the team. I work with owners and managers to build retail cultures that perform.
A 12-month plan built around your specific store and numbers. Real milestones, honest about what it takes — and someone to hold you to them.
Tell me about your store — what's working, what isn't, and what you'd like to change. No pitch, no pressure. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you honestly.
Mairtín visits in person. He walks the floor, reviews your numbers, talks to your team. The work starts on day one — not after weeks of back-and-forth.
A written, prioritised action plan specific to your store. Then weekly check-ins, follow-up visits, team coaching — whatever level of support makes sense for you.
"He spent two days in our store and within a week we'd restructured our deli. Simple changes, immediately made a difference. He tells you exactly what he sees — no fluff."
"The report he gave us was the most useful document we'd had in years. Specific, honest, and written by someone who clearly knew exactly what they were looking at."
"Six months later, average transaction is up 23% and the team is proud of what they're doing. He identified three things on the first morning we'd completely missed."
