Penneys reopening latest as Irish shopping centre reveals details of booking shopping appointments

The Penneys online portal for booking shopping appointments is expected to go live on Friday morning.

Although an official statement has yet to be issued by the retailer, two Irish shopping centres appear to have published details of when the portal goes live, this Friday.

At present, shopping by appointment will be provided next week, before the retailer reopens on May 17 around Ireland.

However, The Wilton Shopping Centre in Cork shared the following post which stated that the portal will go live on Primark's website on May 7.

The status also said there will be strict limits to how many people will be allowed to shop in a given hour and the duration they can shop for.

A similar statement was made by the social media team at Marshes shopping centre in Dundalk, who announced Penneys would reopen from Monday.

Although the numbers may be different depending on the store, for the Wilton Shopping Centre shop there will be 100 slots per hour, with one person per booking.

That slot will allow for 45 minutes of shopping time, with 15 minutes dedicated to purchasing time. This will be done to ensure people can pay at the register promptly.

The times will be strictly enforced and without a booking reference, there will be no access to the store.

Full re-opening for non-essential retail, including Penneys, will take place on Monday, May 17 so if you miss out you won't have to wait long to access your local shop.

The status that was made by Wilton said: "SHOP BY APPOINTMENT. To book your appointment go to www.primark.com. Booking will go live tomorrow, Friday 7th May.

"There will be 100 slots per hour and 1 person per booking. Customers will have 45 minutes shopping time and 15 minutes transaction time ie to pay at the register. All customers must leave when their shopping time slot time is up. Customers are encouraged to only arrive just before their booked time. Trading hours are also on our website. One booking per adult and children over 12 years.

"All info regarding your booking will be sent to your email once you secure your booking. Unfortunately, no booking reference - no access."
