THE ICONIC DUBLIN department store Arnotts has been bought by an international retail group.
The Selfridges Group, who also have Brown Thomas as part of their portfolio in Ireland, have taken ownership of the store.
Earlier this year the Arnotts Group, which is in charge of Arnotts as well as Boyers Department Store, was acquired by Noel Smyth’s Fitzwilliam Finance Partners.
As part of this new deal, Arnotts has been purchased from Irish developer Noel Smyth’s Fitzwilliam Finance Partners.
In August the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission approved the purchase of the department store by Fitzwilliam Finance Partners.
In a statement this evening Selfridges Group has stated that it is committed in investing in Arnotts as “the premium department store in Ireland”.
