Successful fashion chain to establish outlet in Mayo

Fashion chain Born is to establish a Castlebar outlet.

The retailer is to set up operations on Main Street.

The clothing store will occupy the premises previously held by Prendergast’s Men’s and Boys Wear. The long-established Castlebar business is closing its doors after 70 years in the county town.

Cllr Cyril Burke revealed the news at last week’s meeting of Castlebar Municipal District.

He paid tribute to the Prendergast family for seven decades of service to the retail sector in Castlebar. The business was first established by Tom Prendergast in 1958. The premises were put on the market in 2022.

Irish fashion retailer Born boasts more than 20 outlets across the country.

It is understood that the company will also be taking over the adjoining former National Irish Bank property on Main Street.
