Foot Locker are set to open their largest store in Ireland in the Ilac Shopping Centre.
The store, measuring 13,000 sq ft, will be near the main entrance facing out to Henry Street. It is hoped that the store will bring a new fresh look and vibrancy to the shopping centre, as well as a younger shopping demographic.
John Lowry, director of real estate at Foot Locker Europe, said: "“Ireland is very much a market we would like to improve our presence, subject to positioning ourselves in the right locations and at the right terms. We are delighted to support Irish jobs and the local economy in Ireland.”
