Republic 'Invades' Northern Ireland

UK fashion retailer Republic is ready to enter the Northern Ireland retail market, with construction on a new a 10,000 sq ft store underway.

Much needed jobs in the building sector have been created as the two-level store is currently being built on Royal Avenue in Belfast, in a space previously used by music retailer Zavvi, before it was hit by administration last year.

"We aim to establish a reputation here as the top destination for fashion with our unique 'house-of-brands' model and credentials that set us clearly apart from the competition," said Republic Chief Executive Officer, Tim Whitworth.
