Penneys flagship Cork city centre store on St Patrick's St is set for a 6,000 sq ft expansion.

IRISH clothing retail giant Penneys has been cleared for the expansion of its flagship Cork city centre store after planners gave the green light, subject to a number of conditions.

The multi-million euro expansion plan proposes adding 6,000 sq ft to the St Patrick’s St premises in a redevelopment that will involve the amalgamation of adjoining buildings to create a significantly expanded, modernised retail unit.
