Who's excited?!
We are just three more sleeps away from shops opening again, and if you are as excited for that (actually browsing a shop again!) as I am, this will be music to your ears.
And if you have been missing your Penneys fix over the past six weeks, you are no doubt already planning your trip next week. And the good news? You'll have plenty of time to go.
Penneys will re-open all their 36 stores in Ireland on Tuesday, December 1st – a collective Christmas gift to all of us, I think we can all agree.
And as if that wasn't enough, all stores will have
extended trading hours ahead of the festive season, to help us all safely reduce queues by spreading shopping hours over a longer period of time.
If you live near the Dundrum Town Centre or Blanchardstown, you are in luck. Both stores will
open at 7am Tuesday morning, December 1st, and will trade right through to closing time on Wednesday, 2nd December.
Yes, that is right. All night.
2am Penneys trip, anyone?
Penneys stores located in city centres and in major shopping centres will trade until 10.00pm on weekdays, and stores on main streets in towns across Ireland and in town shopping centres will trade until 9.00pm on weekdays.
Penneys are also keen to assure shoppers that nothing matters more to them than the safety and wellbeing of its employees and customers and in line with government guidance, all stores continue to have extensive safety measures in place. This includes strict social distancing protocols, limits on the number of customers allowed in store, hand sanitisation stations on entry, Perspex screens or cubicles at tills, the use of face masks in-store and increased in-store cleaning.
Penneys CEO, Paul Marchant, said: “We are delighted to re-open our stores in Ireland on 1
st December with longer shopping hours to give our customers more time to safely do their festive shopping. We have everything this season that our customers expect from Penneys, including our famous Christmas jumpers, festive pyjamas and much, much more. All of our extensive safety measures remain in place to help ensure shopping at Penneys is an enjoyable, safe experience for everyone.”
