A major new store is heading to Galway as local shoppers prepare to step into ‘the world of Anna and Clara’
Danish lifestyle brand Søstrene Grene has confirmed it will open its doors in the city centre in May 2026, though an exact date is yet to be announced.
The much-loved homeware and décor brand will take up residence in one of the vacant units at Edward Square, beside Dunnes Stores in the heart of the city centre.
This marks the chain’s first new Irish store since 2018, bringing its Scandinavian design-led collections to Ireland for the fifth time. The beloved brand has already established four branches across Dublin, Limerick, Cork and Belfast.
Galway shoppers will soon be able to browse Søstrene Grene’s extensive range of homewares, kitchen essentials, craft supplies, soft furnishings and seasonal décor, “thoughtfully curated to make it easy to add simple, stylish touches to everyday living”.
Mikkel Grene, Group CEO and co-owner of Søstrene Grene, said: “We can’t wait to open our Søstrene Grene store in Galway and are looking forward to introducing our world to both residents and visitors. The city has a creativity and warmth that resonates strongly with everything Søstrene Grene represents, making it even more exciting for us to become part of the area and share our love of simple, beautiful design with new customers.”
Boasting over 400 stores across 17 markets, the brand’s worldwide footprint continues to expand, with plans to reach a total of 100 stores in the UK within the next couple of years.
Country manager Norma Jacob, who runs Sostrene Grene shops across Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, are equally enthusiastic about the launch of this new outlet.
Norma Jacob highlighted Galway’s artistic and creative heritage as the shop prepares to open: “It is very exciting to be continuing our expansion in Ireland. Galway is a city that truly celebrates creativity and individuality, which Søstrene Grene will only add to.
Jacobs also shared how Ireland’s response to their stores so far encouraged them to make it five in the country: “We’ve been so encouraged by the response from our current Irish customers and look forward to bringing Scandinavian charm to the area.”
The official opening date of Søstrene Grene in Galway will be confirmed soon.
