Another new addition to Opera Lane!
News just broke that outdoor clothing brand Mountain Warehouse will be moving into the former Topman/Topshop building on Opera Lane.
The large three-storey building has been left derelict since 2021 when UK fashion group Arcadia wound up all of their stores in Ireland during the pandemic, including Topshop.
But now, finally, it’s going to get a new lease of life as major UK outerwear retailer Mountain Warehouse will be making it their new home. The chain already has stores in Killarney, Tralee and Limerick and they’re already hiring for the new Cork store.
The news comes after the announcement of two other major chains setting up shop on Opera Lane, Victoria Secret and Bath & Body Works, who are due to open by the end of 2024.
The new Mountain Warehouse store will be opening in early 2025 – we’ll keep you posted when we find out the official opening date!
