Penneys has opened its newly revamped store in Clonmel, Tipperary, following an investment of €5.7 million.
The renovated store on O'Connell Street now features an additional lower ground floor. The former basement stock room level has been converted into a new retail space for the kids, menswear, and homeware departments, with the existing floor now featuring an even bigger womenswear department.
The refurbished store spans 18,800 sq ft of retail space across two floors, an increase of 54% from the original store size.
Penneys will be creating 20 new positions as part of the store extension at Clonmel.
Damien O'Neill, Head of Penneys Ireland and Northern Ireland, said: "This refreshed store with increased floor space will allow us to showcase even more of our product range, offering great-value fashion and essentials to the people of Tipperary.
"We are proud to continue to play our part in supporting local towns and communities and to investing in Irish retail."
Mayor of Clonmel, Cllr Pat English welcomed the extension and refurbishment of the Penneys store in Clonmel. "The new jobs and extra shopping space are a real boost to the town, the investment highlights the attractiveness of O'Connell Street as a place to do business."
