Doyle's

"Thanks to cooperation from MDG ASIA, our Irish Pub, Doyle's opened as the first authentic pub in Ibaraki prefecture in May, 2006. MDG ASIA provided highly detailed and precise research, management and consulting services to us. The exterior and interior designs of the pub based on MDG ASIA's concept created a genuine pub atmosphere and we have received a great reaction from many customers.
In addition, since we introduced the latest beer system as used by real Irish pubs, not only Japanese customers, but also overseas visitors are very satisfied with the genuine taste in Japan. We are very glad we could start our business by working together with MDG ASIA. We also appreciated its provision of back-up services after the completion of the work.
We can tell the people thinking of opening Irish pubs in the future that the shortcut to success would be to work with MDG ASIA with their superior knowledge and experience of the Irish pub business."

"I think that MDG Asia is the best partner for opening an Irish pub in Japan. MDG Asia played an important role in opening the Irish Times. We succeeded in finding the best real estate, which suited our Irish pub concept, in cooperation with MDG Asia. In addition, MDG Asia built exactly the kind of pub we had imagined, retaining the ideal pub environment through the interior design and execution of the work. They offered management consulting from the unique point of view of Irish people, with detail and dedication. We have not only Japanese customers but also Irish customers since the opening of the Irish Times, and all have been impressed by the genuine pub environment. Working with a specialist in Irish pubs such as MDG Asia, who have in-depth knowledge of Japanese business practices, will be a short cut to success for anyone interested in entering the Irish pub market in Japan."

"Paddy Foley's Irish Pub on two occasions since 2003 has invited MDG Asia to carry out major refurbishment work in its premises. Both jobs involved the creation of an extended back and bar front, installation of state-of-the-art beer cooling systems and an increase in the floor space of our pub. The work was completed on time, within budget and without the need for closing our pub, which was crucially important to our business. Customer reaction to the completed refurbishments has been extremely positive. In short, the refurbishments have allowed Paddy Foley's to provide both a more open and attractive pub environment for our customers and in return there has been a progressive increase in our sales turnover. We believe that the refurbishment work carried out by MDG Asia has played a significant part in the increased sales figures enjoyed by Paddy Foley's. We have enjoyed working with MDG Asia managers and staff, and appreciate the extra follow-up work and services they have provided even after completion of the contracted work. We would recommend MDG Asia to any client wishing to either newly build or refurbish an existing pub and who wishes to have their work done on both a timely and cost-effective basis.
