    I heard ages ago that they were supposed to be opening a store here towards the end of the year, but here we are and still no sign of it, as far as I'm aware.

    Anyone know if it's still happening? I looked at their websites but it just lists the Belfast store and doesn't mention anything about new ones.

    I think it's moving into the old Laura Ashley store beside Dunnes Stores. There is construction work going on there right now so I assume it'll open soon. I'm surprised they didn't try to get in in time for Christmas.

    Aye that's what I heard back in the summer. I can't find any info on it anywhere though, like recruitment and that. Although if they're planning on opening soon maybe they're already staffed up?

    Yep, there was definitely one there.

    I remember being in Liffey Valley shortly after it opened, and it was there.

    EDIT: Actually.. after a quick Google.. I think it might have been a Warner Bros Store.

    Yeah it was WB, I remember buying a Tweety Bird mug in it :D

    I also remember it being annoying because the staff would stand at the door and welcome you in and then someone was always following you around asking if you were ok. :D

    Disney Store Dublin Opening in 2011
    movie news | 26 Oct 2010 | 8 comments

    We'll want an Irish Disney themepark next...
    Everytime we go on holidays we end up with a suitcase full of stuffed Disney & Pixar toys. So if you're anything like us, you'll welcome the arrival of Dublin's first official Disney store.

    The Walt Disney Company today announced plans to open a Disney Store in Dublin, the first ever Disney Store in the Republic of Ireland. The Store is expected to open in the first half of 2011 at 60-61 Grafton Street. (Unfortunately, this won't help this years Christmas shopping dilemmas).

    Teresa Tideman, joint managing director, Disney Store Europe, commented: "We're delighted to be bringing the first ever Disney Store to Dublin. The new Store promises to delight children and adults through cutting edge technology, quality product and unique experiences, bringing Disney's most important characters and stories to life. We look forward to bringing the Disney magic to the Republic of Ireland next year".

    Meanwhile, the Disney store in Belfast unveiled an innovative new design concept developed from a child's perspective, the new store design integrates the latest technology to create an enhanced shopping experience.

    You sound like you're announcing some inside scoop there. Hasn't this been known for months?

    The construction is supposed to be finished end of April/early May. There is a nice blue tile job that meanders around the shop floor and you can expect lots of fancy lights. I was on site last week.

    Do you mind if I ask what position you applied for? Full or part time or management? I sent a CV a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything.

    I got a call too applied for full time store staff, they are only offering part time positions I was told between 8 and 24 hours a week, so no use to me. Its a 2 hour group interview.
