Brown Thomas to complete €4m renovations as competition heats up

BROWN Thomas will soon complete a €4 million revamp at its Cork store, as it goes head-to-head in a battle for consumers with British retail giant, Debenhams.

The focus of renovations at both stores in Cork city over the last year has been the popular cosmetic halls, with both stores investing heavily in restructuring works.

Debenhams announced in January that its cosmetics section to the front of the Cork store would receive an extensive facelift, with the introduction of brand such as Chanel, Clarins, Clinique and Benefit.
