John Lewis is to open its first department store outside the UK following a deal with Joe O'Reilly's Chartered Land to anchor its 1.7 million-sq ft Dublin Central scheme on O'Connell Street in Dublin city centre.
John Lewis will trade from a 250,000-sq ft space spread over five levels. The Dublin department store will form part of the partnership's existing expansion plans to double the size of its business in the next ten years.
Gareth Thomas, director of retail design and development at John Lewis said: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to open John Lewis in Dublin - a city full of vitality and vibrancy. We believe that we will add a fresh and new dimension to the Irish retail market."
Another John Lewis department store on the island of Ireland is planned for Westfield's Sprucefield site near Lisburn in Northern Ireland.
