The store will be managed by Katie Lipien - who was born in Poland, but now lives in Innishannon.

Ms Lipien says: "I am delighted to represent and manage the first JYSK store in Co Cork.

"Together with the team here in Youghal, we look forward to offering our customers great solutions for their home and sleeping needs.

"We know that the area has a very busy rental and building market, so it's the perfect time for a global homewares brand to open their first store in Youghal."

JYSK is an international chain of stores that sells everything for the home.

It first opened in Denmark in 1979, and the chain now has over 2,700 stores and 23,000 employees in 51 countries.

In Germany and Austria, the stores are called 'Dänisches Bettenlager'.

The company previously announced plans to open 15 stores across Ireland.

This will create more than 200 jobs in the next two years.

The first Irish JYSK store was opened in Naas, Co Kildare back in March.
