Consisting of 19,600 square feet of retail space, the new store will be located in Bray Central Shopping Centre.
The new location is expected to be completed by the end of this year, making it the fashion retail giant’s 38th shop in the country. Outside of Ireland, where the retailer is known as Primark, the company operates nearly 400 stores.
The new location comes as part of a planned €250 million investment into the company’s Irish stores, which will also include refurbishing and upgrading its current locations across the country.
