Holland & Barrett to Invest €17.5 Million in Ireland Over Three Years
Published
Health food retailer Holland & Barrett has announced a major investment of €17.5 million in Ireland. The money will be spent on digital and retail fulfilment over the next three years. Fulfilment means the processes that get products from the company to customers, such as storing, packing and delivering orders.
The investment covers two main areas. The first is the company's online operations, which allow customers to buy products through its website and app. The second is its physical stores, where the company manages how stock is kept and sent out to shops across the country. The company has not yet released a full breakdown of how the money will be divided between these areas.
For Irish shoppers, the investment may mean faster delivery times and a wider choice of products in both online and in-store sales. The announcement also shows that the company plans to keep growing its business in Ireland over the coming years.
The news was reported by the Retail Technology Innovation Hub. Further details about the projects, including any new jobs, are expected to be shared in the coming months.
