Tracing its roots back to 1843, Arnotts is Ireland's oldest department store. Now as a result of recent extension and redevelopment it is also Ireland's largest department store with a selling area of some 300,000 square feet. Its present size sees it ranked in the top five stores in Britain and Ireland, alongside such icons of international retailing as Harrods and Selfridges. Today Arnotts offers a comprehensive selection of merchandise from fashion to furniture, from footwear to sportswear, from kitchenware to electrical goods, from childrenswear to corporate clothing. In many instances whole floors are dedicated to particular product areas creating a series of spectacular shopping worlds where choice is at an optimum and space, comfort and service ensure a pleasurable experience for the customer.
