A spokesperson for SportsDirect.com said: “We offer something for everybody and we’re very proud to open a store in a great location like Laois.

“The store is part of our commitment to developing elevated sports and lifestyle retail space, catering for greater integration of key brands.”

USC – Dedicated fashion followers should head straight to the USC area within the store which features top designer brands including Champion, Pretty Green, Converse, Levi’s, Lacoste and many more across men’s and women’s wear.

The statement outlined that from cool streetwear to stylish athleisure, USC is at the cutting edge of all the top fashion trends to help you make the ultimate new season style statement.

The store will open its doors to the public in March.
