Penneys has announced a major change for customers ahead of the grand reopening.
The popular retail giant will be offering "shopping by appointment" as a temporary measure in all of its Irish stores in the week before the full reopening.
A statement from Penneys reads: "The whole Penneys' team is delighted to begin preparations to welcome customers back to our stores.
"We welcome the government's decision to introduce shopping by appointment as a first step having already launched this service successfully in some of our European markets.
"We will be offering shopping by appointment in every Irish store ahead of our full reopening on 17 May and have begun working through the logistics, starting with bringing our amazing store teams back to work.
"We will confirm timing and full details for this next week."
