Premium fashion and homeware retailer Avoca has announced it will open a new store with a food market at retail park Kildare Village next month.

The 196 sq m store will be Avoca's 14th in Ireland, and it will stock products from the company's own brand collections, including its handwoven throws and soft goods, and leading Irish designers across beauty, homeware and seasonal gifting categories.

The food market, meanwhile, will also sell Avoca's own brand product, gourmet meals as well as a number of culinary experiences, including an exterior food-to-go hut for shoppers looking to grab a quick snack.

"We’re delighted to partner with Value Retail and secure a prime location that will allow us to expand our store footprint and bring Avoca products and services to a whole new group of customers," said Maoliosa Connell, director of marketing.

"The new space will enhance the Irish culinary and retail offering at Kildare Village and promises to deliver an inspiring experience for customers.
