Footwear retailer Shuz 4 U has signed a retail licensing deal with Skechers to open the first Skechers-branded shops in Ireland.

The first two Skechers stores will open at the end of the year in Dublin and Cork City., followed by additional store openings over the next five years. The shops will carry a wide selection of product for men, women and kids.

“Our ten branded Skechers stores in the U.K. give us a highly effective means to reach consumers,” says Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “This licensing partnership with Shuz 4 U allows us to leverage strong European Skechers brand recognition into an expansion of our retail foothold and build on the strong wholesale business we currently have in Ireland and the U.K.”

Skechers operates more than 380 owned, franchises and licensing stores in 41 countries across six continents.
