It isnt though. It has such a large appeal that it will bring in tourists and more shoppers to the city centre. It brings 300 jobs directly, it also boosts trade for all of the surrounding shops through generating increased footfall.
That includes pubs reseuarants and other stores as well as vistor attractions.
it also raises Dublins image to the "trendies" both inside and outside of Ireland. In short, It brings money.
There is only one other A+F in the UK and Ireland- the London store.
massive coup for Dublin to get it over the other big UK cities.
Other than the opening of a major department store which has very few branches, i.e. Harrods or Maceys, There probably isnt another store that would have the same effect as this one will.
Its great news for Dublin

Well you can be full sure that they'll pay no corporation tax through that old transfer pricing ruse. There is only a certain amount of € for the retail trade in Ireland, their revenue would have most likely been spent in other clothes stores which employed similar numbers of people. It might get the Spanish hordes to drop more money here, but that's a tenuous argument.
But it is good news for that particular part of Dublin city centre.0 -

In Ireland at the bottom of Grafton Street if there is a lad topless and a girl half dressed i can see the lad getting a severe amount of stick. Can't imagine anyone will want that position after a week or two of abuse from some of the less than desirable passers by
Given that Abercrombie's target audience is pretty much mostly women, I bet the 'guys with abs' thing will probably work just as well over there as over here
They definitely don't hire for intelligence though. I remember going to an abercrombie one time with my wife and we found a sweater that was actually tolerable looking for me - turned out it was just on the mannequin because they thought it looked good and wasn't actually available for sale.0 -
