Doors opening in new phase of Cork retail warehousing

A new phase of retail warehousing at Cork city’s Turners Cross kicks off this week, with tenants Homestore+More taking 26,000 sq ft close to the super-sized Woodies outlet, while DID Electrical are due to follow on the same site in another new build for which planning has just been granted.

Household wares retailer Homestore+More is due to open tomorrow at the Kinsale Road Retail Park, after a rapid build period on a cleared site to the rear of the prominent Blackwater Motors VW dealership forecourts, previously well-known as Turners Cross Motors.

The Kinsale Road base will be Homestore+More’s 20th Irish store, and it joins Woodies, Harry Corry, Halpenny Golf and Kube Kitchens, giving further critical mass to the range there, while adjacent, older parks by the Kinsale Road and Tramore Road host dozens of other, smaller homeware traders, the most notable being Harvey Norman, in the one-time Woodies outlet.
