Limerick Chamber welcomes the announcement that Marks & Spencer are looking at locating a flagship store in Limerick, a move that would contribute to an enhanced retail provision in the region and reinforce Limerick as the largest retail centre in the Mid-west.
Limerick Chamber CEO Maria Kelly said, “It is important to highlight that any development in the Parkway Valley is subject to planning consent and we understand that significant hurdles need to be overcome before anything can happen. With all the positive developments that are happening in Limerick, Marks & Spencer are right to be looking at locating a flagship store here but the right strategic move would be for M&S to locate in the city centre.
“Limerick is an up and coming city that is going through an exciting transformation, we have a new and engaged management team in our joint local authority and an ambitious economic masterplan that sets out a vision for Limerick to 2030. Up to now the city could not deliver a suitable location for Marks & Spencer but that has now changed with the proposed plans to develop Arthur’s Quay. Therefore the Chamber would welcome and invite M&S to review all viable and potentially more attractive city centre sites in informing their locational decision. “ Ms. Kelly concluded
