Their properties include the Clarence Hotel, the Irish franchise for Wagamama and the Stella Theatre cinema chain. They also operate two formerly franchised Tower Records locations, which have outlasted the US-based parent chain by many years.[1]

Most of their new properties are located in new developments by Oakmount, a property developer with the same owners but operated independently[2]

They have announced an entry in to operating bowling alleys, with a development at Dundrum Town Centre [3]

The company investigated an initial public offering in 2018,[4] but this was cancelled in 2019 [5]
