CS Dublin arranged for Ambassador Foley to preside at the opening cereomony for the first Foot Solutions store in Europe on October 3rd. FSN Cunningham traveled to Cork in Southern Ireland to attend the opening of the pilot franchise store, which is the first for Irish entrepreneurial brothers John and Tony Linehan who plan to open 100+ stores across Ireland and the United Kingdom over the next few years. Their acquisition of the master license for the franchise concept resulted from an introduction by FSN Cunningham to the Atlanta-based franchisor at the International Franchise Expo, an IBP event, in 2006.
