The Irish business of sports retailing giant Decathlon is looking to expand its store network further here in Cork, Galway, Waterford and Dublin.
That is according to new accounts for Decathlon Sports Ireland Ltd which show that revenues here last year more than doubled to €37.22m.
Earlier this year, Decathlon confirmed plans to open a second store here after signing a 25 year lease for a premises at Limerick’s Parkway Retail Park and will follow the same concept as its Ballymun store with some 5,000 sq metres of retail space catering for 70 sports. The Irish business is led by ceo, Bastien Grandgeorge and on the performance of the Irish business last year, the directors state that “due to the pandemic, our store in Ballymun was closed for more than five months from the 1st of January until mid of May 2021 while our ecommerce activity was operational”.
Decathlon launched its online sales here in 2015 and the directors state that under the heading of ‘supply’, “despite the pandemic in the first half of 2021, our business was not significantly impacted and our performances in 2021 were in line with our objectives”.
