Revenues slide further at Debenhams

DEBENHAMS saw revenues at its Irish stores continue to slide this year, but it is planning to open two stores in the coming years.

Revenues at Debenhams Irish operations fell 4% from £150m (€171m) to £144m in the year to September 3, 2011.

The retailer is, however, planning to open two stores in Carlow and Sligo by 2015 as part of a major group expansion.
