Today, after much excitement, the LEGO Group opened the doors to its brand-new LEGO® Store in Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, Dublin. The new store is the brand’s latest location in Ireland, following the successful opening of the first ever Irish LEGO Store on Grafton Street in August 2022.
Located in the well-known Dublin shopping centre, the LEGO Store Blanchardstown is already delighting fans of all ages, with an exciting collection of sets and experiences. LEGO fans of all ages will have endless opportunities to fully immerse themselves in the creative and imaginative LEGO store.
The new 186sqm Blanchardstown LEGO store offers an extensive and exclusive range of new products including the new LEGO Icons Concorde and the LEGO Star Wars ™ Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser. In addition, LEGO Insiders will receive benefits at the new store such as exclusive gifts with purchase, double points events and much more.
Beyond exciting sets, the new LEGO Store also features a range of experiences;
- LEGO Pick-A-Brick Wall: a great way for customers to select the exact elements that they require for their builds. Builders can choose from a variety of colours, elements and shapes.
- Build-a-Minifigure Tower: visitors can mix and match from a wide selection of bottoms, tops, heads, hair pieces and accessories to customise LEGO Minifigures.
- Hands-on Play Opportunities: including free build challenges and events each month.
- Store Associates: whether customers are picking out a gift, looking for the latest set or bringing a LEGO fan in for a special treat, the LEGO team can help find the perfect set for everyone.
What’s more, to celebrate the opening of the new store, there are exclusive offers for shoppers as well as a Halloween Ghost Hunt taking place in-store from the 26th – 31st October and a free Black Cat Make & Take activity taking place on the 28th and 29th October from 10:00am-12:00pm!
