UK furniture giant DFS is to open a branch in Limerick in the next number of weeks unconfirmed reports  state. The building it has purchased on the Ballysimon Road in Limerick has reached the finals stages of a complete refurbishment and staff are already being trained and hired for the sofa superstore.

The building, formerly the O Meara Motors Toyota Showroom, has been extensively refurbished to accommodate the UK furniture giant in an area that already has several furniture superstores by EZLiving and Harvey Norman. The large retail area in Ballysimon is fast recovering from recession and DFS is keen to open before the Pre Christmas rush is over.
