Penneys

First time buying anything in this shop but I had a Grandson in tow and I wanted some quick shopping for the beach — small child near water having fun — you know the story and a change of clothes may come in handy.
In the childrens’ section some of the clothes were well laid out but finding some shorts for a nipper was impossible… lots of girly stuff but I could not find shorts for the right age anywhere. I did ask a member of staff and was sort of pointed in the right direction but still could not find any.
Anyway found a polo shirt (red), sun glasses (red) and a baseball cap (red) all at a reasonable price. Although I did try and persuade nipper to have a cowboy hat instead but as it had a bit of pink around the brim it was cast aside in disgust despite my pointing out we could change the pink to something which would be more ‘tough guy’.
Slightly thinking about getting cowboy hat removing the ribbon and putting other more guy stuff on it.

Cheap but surprisingly not somber, nor is the quality of goods lacking in what is, I am happy to announce, a very steadfast store. I admit to initially being wary of the cheap prices and potential copy-​cat (i.e. poor, cheap replications of finer clothes from more renowned stores) approach resulting in clothes of a dodgy quality but Penneys avoids this stereotype admirably.
Penneys stock is very resourceful, it was the perfect store when I required the appropriate kit for a Rubix Cube Party recently. The idea of the party was that everyone had to adorn clothes that feature each colour seen on a rubix cube. I was very relieved and happy to find all of the colours I required under one roof, each garment a different style to the next. So not only did I manage to get the diverse array of colours together but managed to pick up a miscellaneous range of styles of garments too, those being an orange hoodie, a red polo t-​shirt, green leggings, yellow slip-​on ballet shoes, blue ribbons and white-​rimmed sunglasses — to underline the wide ranging stockpile.
Of course, Penneys being Penneys, the total for all of this as well as a few pairs of good quality € 2 socks was incredible value for money and from this visit I was massively encouraged to revisit very soon after.

What would I have been wearing for all these years without Penneys?
The branch in Dun Laoghaire is not the biggest or the best stocked, but I still manage to come out of here after every visit with an invariable selection of cheap tops, a few pairs of knickers, a € 4 pair of shoes, some hair clips that I don’t really need, and the odd belt or two.
The selection for children and gents is minimal, but there’s a small homewares section down the back of the shop with cheap bedlinnen and towels etc. They have an all-​year holiday section at the front of the shop which is a great place to pick up a few last minute bikinis before heading for sunnier climes.
