Irish furniture retailer EZ Living Furniture has announced the opening of a new store in Carlow.

Situated at Carlow Retail Park on Hanover Road, the new store follows its other recent opening in Athlone, located at Daneswell Business Park, Monksland.

Commenting on the launch, the retailer said: “We are absolutely thrilled to announce the grand opening of our newest store!

“Based in Carlow Retail Park, our team were delighted to officially open the doors and mark the beginning of this new chapter.

“Pictured cutting the ribbon in Carlow are Sharon, Ausra, Siobhan, Lisa, Sarah and Neasa. Thank you to everyone who joined our celebrations.”

EZ Living Furniture is also set to open a new £5m flagship store in Belfast after securing planning permission.

The business submitted a planning application to Belfast City Council to build the store on Boucher Road, which will create around 25 new jobs.
