## Resource

Boxd’s drive-thru coffee spot on Carrigrohane Road is in hot water after operating without Cork City Council’s planning permission since November 2020. The council has issued a warning, but the owners, Aidan Kiely and Michael Harding, are now racing to fix it — submitting plans to demolish a warehouse, build a new commercial kitchen, and upgrade the kiosk with seating and drive-thru access, with a decision due by August 25, 2026. This isn’t their first rodeo: a Midleton drive-thru also shut down in June over similar issues, with a decision pending by August 12. Despite their success — nearly €3 million in retained profits in 2025 — the saga underscores a critical lesson: even thriving businesses need to play by the rules from day one.
