Profits at Copper Face Jacks, the renowned Dublin nightclub owned by a Laois man has seen its profits soar.
Accumulated profits at the firm swelled to €72m last year.
It was another remarkable year for the company that operates Copper Face Jacks on Dublin’s Harcourt.
According to reports in the Irish Independent, the cash pile at the Coppers firm last year jumped by €5.1m, from €54.79m to €59.84m.
The company enjoyed the increase in pre-tax profits after its gross profit – including unspecified “other operating income” – increased by 8.5pc, going from €11.35m to €12.32m in the 12 months to the end of January 31 this year.
The €5.1m in pre-tax profits compares with €5m in 2015; €4.9m in 2014 and €5.5m in 2013.
Last year, the company’s accumulated profits increased from €67.58m to €71.96m.

It has been name-checked by All-Ireland winning captains in their acceptance speech at Croke Park.
Fondly known as Coppers, it opened its doors in 1995.

A total of €782,502 was spent last year on acquiring assets, following the €1.4m spent in 2015.
