Penneys in Cavan confirmed

Retailer confirms plans to open new store in Cavan town by Spring 2028

It’s official! Penneys has confirmed plans to open a long-awaited store in Cavan town. The brand-new store will bring Penneys’ much-loved great value fashion, beauty, lifestyle and homeware offering to Cavan for the first time ever and will be the retailers 39th store in the Republic of Ireland.

Located in the heart of the town on Main Street, it will occupy the existing Tesco site, which will move to a new location at Townparks. Works have yet to start, but the retailer hopes to open the new Penneys store in Spring 2028. The new store will represent significant investment in the region by Penneys and bring new jobs, which will bring a welcome boost to the local economy.

Commenting on the announcement, Fintan Costello, Head of Penneys in Ireland and Northern Ireland, said: “We are thrilled to finally confirm that Penneys is coming to Cavan. We know local customers have been asking us for a store here for many years, so it’s incredibly exciting to finally make it happen. It’s going to take some time but bear with us, we’re really looking forward to bringing our amazing range of great value clothing and accessories to our Cavan customers and supporting the local economy. We’ll be sharing more details in the months ahead, and we can’t wait to open our doors to the people of Cavan.”

The new store will feature Penneys’ stand-out styles at affordable prices, and fans will be able to shop the latest trends along with popular everyday essentials across womenswear, menswear, kidswear, beauty, and homeware. The store in Cavan is part of Primark’s commitment to invest over €250 million in Ireland over a ten-year period, which also includes the development, relocation and refurbishment of many of its existing stores across the country, including Penneys’ stores in Portlaoise, Dooradoyle Limerick and Ennis later this year.
