On top of those, the first 50 customers in store will receive free goodie bags.
According to Mothercare, on top of the full range of home, travel and nursery departments, at the new store “A personal shopping service will assist new parents at the very start of their journey”.
In addition “Dedicated stations around the store will make product demonstrations easier than ever so they can try before they buy”.
The flagship new store in Galway for Mothercare Ireland comes as the UK business has been suffering losses that have seen the number of stores cut almost in half.
However Mothercare Ireland is a completely separately owned entity and is not affected by the downturn in UK business.
