Crocs and Hollister have signed to open stores at The Boulevard shopping destination in Northern Ireland, delivering two “firsts” for the Banbridge outlet.
Crocs is opening its first Northern Ireland store on 11 September, taking a 1,733 sq ft unit at the premier designer outlet.
Hollister is also launching its first outlet store on the island of Ireland in October at the shopping destination.
The new shop will mark the brand’s second physical store in Northern Ireland and its first as an outlet offering.

They will join a range of retailers who have chosen the scheme for their first or only location, including Kate Spade, Ikea, French Connection, Adidas, and Levi’s.
Lotus Property asset manager Paul McCann said: “The arrival of Crocs and Hollister is a major endorsement of The Boulevard’s continued success and its strength in the retail market.
“These signings build on a continued record trading period and underline the scheme’s ability to attract leading global brands.
“The Boulevard is now known for a growing line up of stores shoppers can’t find elsewhere, which really sets it apart in a competitive market.”
