NI shopping centre adds new fashion retailer as it completes multi million-pound revamp

Ballymena's Fairhill Shopping Centre said DV8, which is based in Northern Ireland, will open in the centre in the autumn. Existing fashion retailers at the centre include River Island, JD Sports, H&M, Next, M&S, New Look, Jack and Jones and Superdry, with Primark also arriving later this year. DV8 is due to open a large 4,000 sq ft unit next to LMD Beauty, Jack & Jones and JD Sports. Fairhill said the arrival of DV8 demonstrated its ambition to become the region's 'leading fashion retail destination'. Ryan Walker, a director of Magmel (Ballymena), which owns Fairhill, said: 'We're delighted to welcome DV8 Fashion to Fairhill Shopping Centre. "Their arrival adds even more style and energy to our retail mix, enhancing the shopping experience for visitors and bringing fresh momentum to what is already a landmark year for Fairhill. "Autumn 2025 will also see us welcome Primark and the completion of our multi million-pound refurbishment. "We are firmly committed to positioning Fairhill as a premier retail destination in Northern Ireland.' DV8 was founded by Portadown-based businessman Ian McMahon and is now well-established across Northern Ireland, the Republic and Scotland. It sells brands including Carhartt, Birkenstock, New Balance, Columbia and Converse. Fairhill Shopping Centre has been carrying out a multi-million-pound revamp and branding project ahead of the opening of Primark later this year.
