Eason Opens In Former Hughes & Hughes Dun Laoghaire Store

Eason Dun LaoghaireEason has opened a new bookstore in the former Hughes & Hughes store on Marine Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.

The store opened on Saturday 6th June and has new stock including the new Stephanie Meyer and The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner.

Hughes & Hughes ceased to trade at the location on Friday 26th February after it went into receivership. It cited high rents as one of the reasons for the move.

Eason already has a branch on Dun Laoghaire’s main shopping street Upper Georges Street. The two-floor store stocks books, stationary, magazines, newspapers and confectionery.

Aside from the Dun Laoghaire branch, Eason has taken over the Dublin airport stores once operated by Hughes and Hughes.
