Five huge international chains FINALLY coming to Irish shores

From fashion to food, there’s always something new entering the Irish market…

2025 has been the year for international brands and chains to launch stores in Ireland. From Italian clothing brand Subdued, cosmetic brand KIKO and Swedish lifestyle brand ARKET – global companies have created a strong presence in Ireland.

This integration into the Irish market is not set to slow down anytime soon. Here are a few brands that have just launched in Ireland, and some that are opening in the very near future.

This popular beauty retailer will introduce countless ‘Sephora exclusive’ makeup, haircare and skincare brands to the Irish market as well as a collection of viral worldwide brands.

Joe & the Juice


Popular Danish chain Joe & the Juice is opening its first Irish outlet, securing a lease on a city-centre unit in Dublin.

With no official opening date or details of its location, there is mention of Joe & the Juice launching on Grafton Street in early 2026. With a menu of healthy juices and delicious sandwiches, this food chain will most likely be a hit in the Irish market.

The viral US chicken wing chain Wingstop plans to open its Irish store in Liffey Valley shopping centre this Winter.

There has been much speculation of this popular food chain opening in Ireland over the years, and now that it’s finally entering the Irish market, we can’t wait to try it out. By 2032, Wingstop is looking to open 20 outlets nationwide – and will of course be available on Deliveroo.
