Sandwich Chain Carried Out Undercover Sting

Sunday Business Post:

O’Briens Irish Sandwich Bars hired a private detective and carried out an undercover sting in an effort to secure a High Court injunction against a former franchisee.

The snack franchise, headed by entrepreneur and Fine Gael general election candidate Brody Sweeney, has obtained a injunction preventing a franchisee from using any of the group’s intellectual property, including its menus, sandwich wrappers and signage.

The injunction followed a lengthy row between O’Briens and Ann Marie Walsh, who previously operated 2 prominent O’Briens outlets in Dublin city one on Dame Street and the other, a concession outlet, in the Dublin Tourist office on Suffolk Street.
