Wilton unit the right fit for Skechers

SHOE retailers Skechers have found a second Cork shopping mall footprint, taking a 2,400 sq ft-plus mezzanine vacated by A-Wear at the Wilton Shopping Centre.

Already in Cork’s Mahon Point, the expansionist firm is now fitting out its Wilton store, close to Tesco, and plans an October 9 opening.

The deal was done by Seamus Costello of DTZ Sherry FitzGerald, who had been seeking €110,000 pa, on a long lease. It’s understood the rent secured exceeded the guide.
