Penneys

You wouldn’t be from cork if you didn’t know pennys ! It’s brilliant ! I have often gone in for socks and underwear and come home with 5 full bags of «essentials» and realising when I got home that I forgot what I went in for ! It’s like a bazaar with absolutely everything ! I find that the quality and range has gotten way better over the last couple of years. Pennys tend to stay bang on trend. I also shop for my children in pennys sometimes and I find that the new dresses they have in stock for girls (age 3) are VERY similar to NeXT dresses. Staff are always nice, very helpful but usually I don’t even bother asking them anything because I’m like a headless chicken running around the shop.
One thing though I must say, when it’s busy (Thursday Friday’s and Saturdays typically but it can be anytime !) I find it very costraphobic. I mean that literally. People can get angry in pennys (like Black Friday angry) sometimes !

I love Penneys. It is possible to go shopping with a low budget.

Hier kann man super günstig shoppen. Wir waren da, als es in Deutschland noch keinen Primark gab ubd haben uns da eingedeckt. Die Preise sind viel günstiger als in Deutschland, gerade für Schuhe und Taschen. Was mich etwas irritiert hat ist, dass es offensichtlich Gang und Gäbe ist, dass die Leute dort Sachen die sie nicht wollen auf den Boden schmeißen! Ich meine Hallooooo?! Da blutet mein deutsches ordnungsfanatisches Herz XD Hier haben wir auf jeden Fall immer was gefunden und Penneys war Schuld, dass
Wir am Ende ein 50kilo Paket mit UPS nach Deutschland schicken mussten, damit wir am Flughafen kein Übergepäck hatten. Tut euch einen Gefallen und geht nicht Samstags hin, das ist zu voll, zu laut und absolut Nervtötend. Gut kann man ab 4 Uhr jeden Tag dort einkaufen. Ich hab da immer etwas gefunden. Ein toller Laden!

Now what Corkonian does not know about Penneys?!! We all know it and love it for a reason! Yes this place is nearly always packed and yes you run the risk of seeing your cousin, neighbour and best friend all wearing the same new coat you just bought last week but really this place is a gem! Where else could you buy a whole new outfit for under 100 euro? I buy everything from flats to t shirts to handbags here– and now that I am a student again I sort of have no choice. The quality is obviously not the best but for these cheap prices it is not much to complain about. They have something for everyone-​kids, teens and adults as well as a really nice homeware section. I love Penneys!!!

It’s less manic than it’s Oxford Street sister but still has loads of great value items. Everything is just so cheap! It’s impossible to visit without stocking up.

Great for kids clothes and undies, I find some of the womens clothes are strangely shaped (and no, I’m not!) but that said you are sure to find something nice to don for a night out. Great selection of casuals. tee’s etc. Can’t go wrong!

The only place to shop for kids holidays clothes. Everything’s as cheap as chips so you don’t mind if it gets wrecked. Baby stuff is brilliant value too — vests, babygros, socks, blankets. For adults you get fashionable gear for half nothing so you caan afford to buy it in all the colours. Bags, shoes and accessories are a steal and really top off your outfit for very little. This store is always packed and it’s hard to get around if you have kids with you. Christmas shopping is manic here so be warned!!!

Great prices on cool clothing. However, I dont understand how people can spend hours inside there. About a half an hour tops for me. Way too crowded also and very messy.

Sin duda el mejro centro comercial de Cork¡¡ es el llamado aqui Prymark, las cosas no son de muy buena calidad, pero por el precio que esperas.
aun asi, determinadas cosas como complementos etc si que valen la pena.

Penneys is Primark for Ireland. Somehow, any it manages to escape any of Primark’s less salubrious image and is easily one of the most popular shops in Cork.
Inexpensive — cheap — clothes perfect for your next night out, cheap and cheerful basics and bags — Penneys has it all.
