WH Smith To Open In Arnotts

WH Smith is to open a store in the Arnotts department store in Dublin city centre.

The opening will mark the first time the retailer has opened in a location outside of an airport in the republic, although the company does have a high street store in Belfast.

The company’s career site is currently advertising the position of  supervisor for the store.

The store will operate as part of WH SMith’s Travel rather than the high street operation and will open in October 2011.

The Arnotts location puts the store in competition with the Eason’s flagship O’Connell Street branch and the newly opened Hughes & Hughes in the Jervis Street centre.
