Armani follows in the footsteps of Gucci, which opened its doors there in July.

The Irish chocolate company Lily O’Brien’s will also be part of the new development.

The plans include a Visitor Centre with enhanced hospitality services for guests, as well as an additional 437 parking spaces, which have been created for the development.

The expansion will add an additional 5,544 square metres to Kildare Village, increasing the total size to 16,570 square metres.
