Penneys this morning opened the doors of its new store in Bray, Co. Wicklow following an investment worth over €4 million.
Minister of State with responsibility for Business, Employment and Retail Emer Higgins TD officially opened the store at 10am this morning.
Penneys Bray is the latest in a €250 million investment in the business in Ireland taking place across a ten-year period.
The opening has created 100 new jobs for the local economy as locals can enjoy the 19,600 square feet of retail space in Bray Central Shopping Centre.
Customers can look forward to shopping the latest trends in fashion, beauty, lifestyle and homecare while experiencing the convenience of self-checkout tills along traditionally served checkouts.
The head of Penneys Ireland and Northern Ireland Fintan Costello said ahead of the opening, “Opening the first store in a new county is a significant milestone for Penneys, and we can’t wait to welcome new customers and colleagues to Bray.
“Our team has been working hard to create an amazing experience for our customers, with a fantastic selection of products across fashion, beauty, lifestyle and homeware available in our new store.”
At the opening, Costello said he is “delighted to finally open our doors in Bray,” and that the significant investment underscores “the confidence and commitment we have in our home market.”
