Danish retailer Normal earmarked for Cork's long-vacant Argos unit at Queen’s Old Castle

The trendy store stocks 5,000 products and introduces 100 new products each week

POPULAR Danish retailer Normal is to set up shop at the former Argos store in the Queen's Old Castle, ending six years of vacancy at one of Cork city centre's most prominent retail spaces.

Confirmation that the Nordic chain has taken out a lease on the 10,000 sq ft unit - empty since Argos closed in 2019 - signals another new arrival to Grand Parade, following on from confirmation last week that a Gala convenience store is to open at Singer's Corner, empty since last May.
