GOOD news for the cool kids: American retail chain Urban Outfitters is set to open its first Cork store, bringing new life to a St Patrick’s Street premises that has lain idle for six years.

The one-of-a-kind store that combines own-brand pieces with vintage items and designer ranges, as well as lifestyle accessories, will fill the high street void left by the closure in 2019 of Dorothy Perkins-Evans women’s wearstore at No 101 on main street.
