Discount retailer Dealz has announced plans to open another 10 stores by the end of March next year, creating 300 jobs.
The new openings will include outlets in Waterford, Louth and Tipperary.
One of the new shops will open this week in Mullingar, Co Westmeath.
The new 5,000 sq ft store, located on Pearse Street in the town, will create up to 30 jobs. Dealz will also be opening stores in Lisduggan in Co. Waterford, Drogheda, and Clonmel later this year.
The company already has nine shops across the country, and employs more than 300 people.
