While all eyes will be on the long-awaited reopening of non-essential retail next Monday, Grafton Street in Dublin will be without a Tommy Hilfiger store.
Having remained closed since last Christmas due to Covid-19 restrictions, the US fashion retailer has decided to shut its flagship premises permanently.
While the impact of the pandemic is believed to have influenced the move to a certain degree, it is understood that the company has decided to exercise the 15-year break option on its 25-year lease 12 months early.
