Zara opens largest store in Ireland at Blanchardstown Centre
A new Zara store has opened at Dublin’s biggest retail and leisure destination, Blanchardstown Centre.
Spanning 52,000 square feet, the shop is the Inditex owned brand’s largest in Ireland and will offer its latest womenswear, menswear and childrenswear collections
Zara previously occupied a smaller, 14,000 square foot unit at the centre.
The shop aims to offer a more vibrant customer experience and features the latest innovations in Zara’s integrated online and physical store platforms.
The store also includes new areas for the latest product lines as well as footwear and accessories in the women’s and men’s sections. These ’boutique’ spaces have a distinctive design and furnishings, with adjacent restocking areas for a more personalised service.
Blanchardstown Centre covers over 1.1 million square feet and has an annual footfall of over 16 million.
The centre has benefitted from an extension and extensive refurbishment process over the last two years with the work involving a full mall upgrade.
Pat Nash, managing director at Falcon AM, asset manager for Blanchardstown Centre, said: “The new Zara store is a great addition to the line-up here at Blanchardstown and will act as a real footfall driver as we enter the Christmas shopping period.
“Zara is also a brand which really understands the importance of integrating physical and digital retail strategies – giving shoppers the best of both worlds and a seamless experience. It is exactly the type of retailer we want to attract to the centre.
“The addition will significantly enhance our overall offer, and we’re delighted to see the store open its doors today.”
