Danish retailer Normal opens a new store in Cork's Queens Old Castle on Thursday, its third Irish store and its first outside Dublin.

The Cork branch will cover 563sq m and create around 30 to 35 jobs, with opening promotions on Thursday including 1,000 goodie bags. Founded in Denmark in 2013, Normal operates more than 1,000 stores across several European countries, with Cork marking another step in its expansion. The Cork store follows successful launches at Dublin’s Ilac Centre and Northside Shopping Centre.
