Two eir stores in Galway City will benefit from a €4 million overhaul of the company’s retail stores across the country.
Eir has announced that €4 million will be spent modernising many of its key retail outlets around the country.
In Galway, this includes the stores at Galway Shopping Centre on the Headford Road, and another store on William Street.
The new stores feature a modern design, state-of-the-art technology and a number of changes to support a reduction in environmental impact.
Heat mapping technology will be trialed in the busiest stores to gain insights into customer patterns and browsing habits to optimise display screen timings, with a view to reduce energy usage.
The stores will also feature the latest technology in power-efficient lighting, and operate on a paperless basis, unless paper is required or requested by customers.
Susan Brady, Managing Director of eir Consumer and Small Business, “At eir, our purpose of connecting for a better Ireland is at the heart of everything we do.”
“We’re proud to announce this significant €4 million investment in our retail network and unveil our new look stores, which reflect our commitment to offering the best of modern retailing and in-store experiences.”
“We are progressing the transformation work at pace to ensure minimum disruption for our customers. During the pandemic, we learned that our customers rely on our stores and in-person advice for more than just shopping.”
“Our stores have long been a central part of busy high streets and shopping centres in cities and towns right across Ireland, and we are committed to serving the communities where we operate.”
“We believe that by providing customers with the care and expertise they need, we can help them access the full promise of new technologies, and keep them connected, always.”
This is the first phase of a multi-year investment programme aimed at upgrading the entire footprint of retail stores across Ireland.
The investment project is well underway with stores in Dublin’s Grafton Street, Henry Street, the Ilac Centre, and Limerick’s O’Connell Street already complete and reopened to the public.
The remaining stores will be finished by November, ahead of the busy festive shopping season.
