In September 2011, Clodagh launched her brand Homemade by Clodagh in Arnotts department store in Dublin, which is the largest department store in Ireland. Under the banner Homemade by Clodagh there is Clodaghs Kitchen (a restaurant), The Food Court and Clodaghs Bakery.

Said Clodagh: I am thrilled to get the opportunity to bring my homemade philosophy to the heart of Dublin City with Arnotts, which is not just Dublin but Irelands landmark department store. It has always been an ambition of mine to bring the very best of homemade food to a wider market and, with so many customers coming through the doors of Arnotts, this is a realisation of that dream. We will be honouring the homemade ethos in both cafs and, at the same time, showcasing the very best of Irish suppliers as every dish served will be made, in so far as that is possible, from freshly sourced local produce. I have already begun working with the staff, who are extremely excited about what lies in store and we are looking forward to September and unveiling our refreshing new look and exciting menus for both restaurants.
