Harcourt Developments will open phase one of the extension to Laois shopping centre on Tuesday April 26
The first phase will consist of a brand new Tesco Extra Store which will be triple the size of the existing store at 88,000 sq ft. Tuesday April 26 will also see the opening of three levels of free covered car parking providing over 1,200 spaces, as well as a new pedestrian entrance to the shopping centre adjacent to Dunnes Stores in the Kyle Centre.
Penneys is due to commence fit out of its extended store which will increase its presence in the centre from 16,000 sq ft to 48,000 sq ft.
The redevelopment of Laois Shopping Centre is one of the only retail projects currently being constructed in Ireland. The full 265,000 sq ft scheme is scheduled to complete by autumn 2011.
Pat Power of Harcourt Developments said: “Laois Shopping Centre has been successfully trading for almost 20 years and already boasts a significant footfall however with the extension of the centre we expect this to increase substantially as the centre draws on a much wider catchment area.”
