At last.

If you’re running low on socks and undies, there’s good news on that front this morning.

Penneys has announced it will reopen stores with street access on June 12th, with Penneys outlets located in shopping centres to open for business on June 15th.

That means Penneys on St Patrick Street will be back in business this Friday, with the Wilton outlet opening up on the following Monday.

Here’s what the shopping experience will look like:

“Employee and customer safety is the highest priority in our preparations for re-opening.” the company said in a statement.

“To help provide a safe environment in stores for our employees and as we welcome back customers, social distancing protocols, hand sanitiser stations, Perspex screens at tills and additional store cleaning will be among the measures in place.

“Penneys is closely following all government safety advice and applying experience gained from our store openings across Europe, putting rigorous health and safety measures in place in all stores, which include:

• Strict social distancing protocols will be in place with limits on the number of customers in-store at any one time to allow for the appropriate distance in between customers and employees, following government guidelines.
• Perspex screens have been installed on tills to protect customers and employees.
• Clear signage and floor decals, as well as dedicated employees and additional security staff, to guide customers through the store in a way that limits contact with others.
• Every second till will be closed to allow more space between customers and between employees.
• We have temporarily closed off fitting rooms, customer toilets and our cafe and beauty concessions in stores which have them. We may review this policy as the situation develops and in line with government guidance.

Hand sanitiser stations will be made available at the entrance and on the shop floor and back of the house for employee and customer use. Face masks and gloves will be made available to all Penneys employees.

Increased in-store cleaning:

High-frequency touchpoints such as tills, escalators, lifts, and employee areas will be sanitised rigorously.

“As we re-open our stores in Ireland, nothing matters more than the health and wellbeing of our colleagues and customers,” said Primark CEO, Paul Marchant.

“We have really missed our customers and we are delighted to be back trading again on our home soil. From 12 June we will be able to provide our customers with the quality, affordable products they love from Penneys.

“We know that life for our customers is going to look different for a while. We want our stores to be safe and reassuring places to shop and work. While it might take a little longer to get into our stores, once inside, customers will find all their favourite Penneys products and we have worked hard to make sure that clear signage and extra help will be there to guide them through the changes we have made to allow for social distancing.”
