Croke Park is more than a stadium—it’s the heartbeat of Irish sport and a national treasure. As the proud home of the GAA, Ireland’s largest sporting organisation, it represents the spirit of hurling, Gaelic football, and generations of community pride.
Within its grounds, the Croke Park Museum brings this legacy to life for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. With a growing and diverse audience, there was a clear opportunity to elevate the retail experience—enhancing the space, expanding the product range, and creating a more meaningful connection between visitors and the GAA story
JK Consulting was brought in to turn that vision into reality—reimagining both the physical space and the commercial strategy behind it.
JK Consulting led the full redevelopment of the museum’s retail experience, from vision to execution. Working closely with the management team, we oversaw the redesign and fit-out of the shop, briefing and selecting the right partners through a competitive tender process.
The revitalised shop launched in November 2024 and was met with immediate, enthusiastic response. Today, it’s not just a shop—it’s a standout part of the museum experience and a major revenue contributor to the business.

Working with JK Consulting was the single best decision we have ever made in terms of our retail. Jennifer’s knowledge of the sector, guidance through a refurb process and her project management skills were excellent. We worked with Jennifer across all aspects of our retail offering from fixtures and fittings in our new space to staff training, pricing and product ranges. Without her expertise we would have been lost. She made the entire experience enjoyable and rewarding and our retail is now outperforming what we had planned. It has become a key revenue driver for our business.

Jennifer is one of the most creative and instinctive thinkers I’ve ever met. Working on the Guinness X Pawpear collaboration together was a masterclass in strategic vision and insight. She has an intuitive knowledge of the retail landscape and brought ideas that elevated the project in ways I hadn’t anticipated. A rare and truly valuable partner.
