Ireland’s single price value retailer Dealz today (29 September) celebrated its third anniversary of trading in Ireland by announcing plans to open an additional ten stores, creating over 300 new Irish jobs.

Dealz will also be opening a new flagship store in Dublin City Centre in early October, making this the retailer’s 35th Irish store. Located in the Ilac Shopping Centre, Dublin 1, the store will have over 5,000sq ft of selling space.

The new flagship Dublin store will be the fourth Dealz to open in four weeks, with stores also opening in Wexford and Dundalk, in addition to the retailer’s second store opening in Cork. The opening of these new Dealz stores brings the total number of jobs created in Ireland to date to over 1,000.

Since launching in Ireland in late September 2011, Dealz has invested over €53.6m million into the Irish economy. Today’s announcement will see a further commitment of over €4.5 million over the next 12 months. Dealz is also on course to open another three stores in Ireland by the end of this year (December 2014).

Speaking at Dealz third anniversary and the further sealing the commitment of Dealz to Ireland, CEO Jim McCarthy said:  “We are delighted to be celebrating our third year of trading in Ireland following the opening of our 34th Dealz store in Ireland last weekend in Wexford, not to mention the upcoming opening of our new flagship store in Dublin City Centre in October.”

“We are fully dedicated to the Irish market and our exciting expansion plans will continue to create new job opportunities for Irish workers.  Dealz is dedicated to bringing amazing value to our Irish customers every day with our €1.49 price point and are looking forward to even more savvy Irish shoppers having the opportunity to experience our fantastic range of great products and well-known brands.”

Since its launch, Dealz has welcomed over 13 million customers in store to date.
