I was in the flagship store in Dublin today and was speaking to the guy who was on duty today. He told me they are recruiting for a New Store in Cork and will likely expand to new stores in Limerick and Galway also.

Right now Cork is going to be a one man store, Limerick and Galway if/when they open will likely be 1 man also, with limited open days. Which is a rare thing for Irish retail, other than Sundays, but makes sense given the small markets.

We are opening a new Store and are recruiting for a Manager who can relish the challenge of opening and promoting a brand new Warhammer Store.

The Irish operation has always been small and a branch of UK home office, Dublin and Belfast are the only Games Workshops proper to survive, with Blanchardstown (a Dublin suburban shopping centre based store) closing in the mid-00s.

1 for the Republic, 1 for Northern Ireland. The Dublin store is owned outright and runs itself with a staff of 4 +/-. The former head of the Blanchardstown store is now the boss.

War Gaming/ FLGS and Hobby stores support Warhammer as affiliates up and down the country with mail order and discounts like everywhere else. Years ago Argos, Arts and Hobby and Toymaster supported 40k at its populist height here in Ireland as far as I remember from my youth. These days GW is mostly represented via the Flagship, FLGS, and anywhere that may stock the Black Library books, such as large bookstore Eason's.

If I remember correctly, Newry and Derry once had stores...

Huh. Looks like GW finally realised there might be a market for their products in the Republic.

Expanding to 1 man stores feels like an oxymoron.
