FatFace has opened its first full price Irish store in 14 years at Dublin’s Blanchardstown Centre.
The shop has added to the fashion brand’s existing portfolio of five sites in the country.
Spanning around 2,000 square feet, the space will offer customers FatFace’s lifestyle clothing ranges, including its latest summer collection.
In addition to the five sites in Ireland, the brand operates 180 stores in the UK and over 20 stores in the US and Canada.
Karen Johnston, stores director at FatFace said: “Opening a new store in Blanchardstown is an exciting milestone for FatFace. As we return to Ireland with our first full price store in over 14 years, this expansion not only allows us to bring our latest collections closer to our customers but also underscores our commitment to growth and innovation in the retail landscape.”
Blanchardstown Center is Dublin’s largest retail and leisure destination, covering over 1.1 million square feet with an annual footfall of over 16 million.
Sharon Walsh, leasing director at Falcon AM, asset managers for Blanchardstown Centre, added: “The new store responds directly to demand for a more diversified fashion offer from our catchment and closely follows several other great additions – such as Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Kelin and Flannels.
“We know our guests will be thrilled. Here at Blanchardstown, we are experiencing strong demand for space – reflecting the success of investment in the center over the last few years, as well as the continued resilience of prime physical retail.”
