The Blanchardstown Centre is one of Ireland's largest shopping centres, located in Blanchardstown, Dublin, Ireland. It opened in October 1996 and was extended in 2004 to create extra retail space. It lies in the administration of Fingal County Council.
The Blanchardstown Centre is served by over 600 bus movements per day, and close to the M50 and M3 motorways.
In June 2016 the centre was sold to the Blackstone Group by Green Property for an estimated €950m.
The centre contains over 180 stores, including banking outlets and dining facilities, three retail parks and 7,000 free car parking spaces. The four main anchor tenants in the shopping centre itself are Dunnes, Penney's, Marks and Spencer, and Debenhams. Other tenants include H&M, Superdry Store, Vero Moda, Jack & Jones, River Island, JD, Topshop/Topman, BT2 and Zara. The Blanchardstown Centre is also home to Ireland's largest TK Maxx store, Lifestyle Sports and 53 Degrees North, all of which are located in the "fashion park". Surrounding the centre are three retail parks, two of which are part of the centre, whilst the other, WestEnd Shopping Park, is operated separately and features stores such as New Look, Argos, Lidl, Dealz, Nike Outlet, Heatons and Next. Harvey Norman, Smyths Toys, Currys, PC World, Waltons Music, Elvery's Sports and DFS Sofas are also located in the retail parks around the centre.
The complex includes a 9-screen cinema operated by Odeon Cinemas and a Leisureplex entertainment centre.
