Penneys will officially open the doors of its much-anticipated brand-new store in The Square Shopping Centre on Thursday 15th September at 9:30am. Located on the ground floor of The Square Shopping Centre, the new store will offer 43,400 sq. ft of retail and beauty space, packed with Penneys’ full ranges of fashion, homeware and beauty, including a Nails @ Penneys salon.

This is the first new Penneys store in Dublin in six years, following its opening in Liffey Valley Shopping Centre in December 2016. Penneys, which operates as Primark outside of Ireland, currently has 36 stores in Ireland and over 400 stores in total across Europe and North America. 

The Irish retailer has committed to invest €250 million in Ireland over the next 10 years, including the new Tallaght store, existing store redevelopments and the development of a state-of-the-art warehousing and distribution facility in Newbridge, Co. Kildare which is currently under construction.

Speaking this week, Head of Penneys Ireland and Northern Ireland, Damien O’Neill said, "We can’t wait to welcome our colleagues and customers into our fantastic new store in Tallaght. We know our customers have been waiting for Penneys at The Square for a long time. The store is nearly ready, and we are really excited to finally open our doors next month. We’ll have something for everyone all at our everyday affordable prices. We’re proud to continue to expand Penneys in Ireland and keep investing in Irish retail."

Head of Retail for The Square Town Centre, Jack Martin added, "This is a fantastic addition to the Centre and will be widely welcomed by the community not just in Tallaght but many of the surrounding areas. Our partnership with Penneys marks a significant step in our development and we are very excited about the opportunity that this brings. The people of Tallaght have been crying out for a Penneys store for over 20 years and I have no doubt will make this a hugely successful launch."
