Dundrum Town shopping centre in Dublin is set for 25 new openings, store upsizes and major refurbishments during 2026.
Ten of these have already been completed, with 15 further openings and investment continuing during the autumn and ahead of the Christmas shopping season.
The newly expanded 38,000 square foot Zara flagship store opened earlier this month, while Bershka has refurbished its 8,500 square foot store and while Tommy Hilfiger unveiled a newly refurbished 3,000 square foot “Residence” store earlier this month.
Dundrum Town said these openings supported a 7% footfall increase compared with the same time last year.
Meanwhile, Mountain Warehouse has recently opened a 14,000 square foot unit in the retail park while beauty brand Kiko Milano has opened a new store.
Popeyes and Sushi & Go have also further expanded the shopping centre’s food and beverage offering this month and as well as investments from Irish brands Pestle & Mortar, Nutbutter, Sprout and Vice Pizza earlier in the year.
More new arrivals are planned in the weeks ahead – fashion brand Stradivarius is to open a new 11,000 square foot store, while UK lifestyle brand Oliver Bonas will open a 2,500 square foot unit.
White Stuff is also due to open a 2,500 square foot store and Crew Clothing will open a new 2,000 square foot shop.
CEX, Shaking Lab and Dr Acupuncture will also join the line-up as part of the latest wave of openings.
In November, Sarah Louise Interiors, Arisu, Tempt and Bah33 will open in the Pembroke District.
Dundrum said the upcoming arrival of the new 16,000 square foot Zara Home, a first for Ireland, represents another major milestone and further strengthens its homeware offer.
The autumn will also see significant reinvestment by existing brands with M&S due to transform its 128,000 square foot store through a comprehensive refurbishment ahead of its reopening in time for Christmas.
Claire Macken, Country Director at Hammerson, said the scale of investment the centre is seeing from both existing and new brands demonstrates continued confidence in Dundrum Town and the strength of the Irish retail market.
“From major flagship brand investments to the arrival of exciting new names and home-grown formats, we are continually enhancing the experience for our visitors. This latest programme will deliver even greater choice across fashion, beauty, home, dining and lifestyle while reinforcing Dundrum Town’s position as Ireland’s leading retail destination,” she added.
