The store was occupied by Howard's Storage World and is located in a fully occupied section of the park adjacent to TK Maxx, Harvey Norman, Lifestyle Sports and Heatons. This latest acquisition comes following a number of recent Dublin openings in Malahide, Glenageary, Blackrock and Drimnagh. Boots Ireland has also secured premises in Tralee, Bandon, Ballincollig,Carrigaline, Kilkenny, Arklow and Sligo.

Stephen Murray of JLL, described the new store in Carrickmines as an "extremely desirable location for business". The unit was being fitted out and would open on April 27th.
