Penneys says its newly planned store falls within the Abbey Street riverside strategic development goal of the Ennis 2040 Plan.
Primark LTD has now officially lodged its plans for a three-storey retail development and public walkway across Harmony Row, Bank Place and Bindon Lane.
The Ennis 2040 DAC and Penney’s Logos have been incorporated together on multiple occasions in documents submitted to the council, but it has not been clarified if the proposal is officially part of Ennis 2040 plans.
A retail assessment report by MKO Consultants says the proposed development has the potential to act as a catalyst for inward investment in the local economy and estimates the store will generate turnover of €14.2m by 2029.
The local authority is accepting submissions up to April 28th and has until May 19th to make a decision.
