Brown Thomas

Brown Thomas & Company Limited is a chain of four Irish department stores, located in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick. Owned by Wittington Investments, Brown Thomas is an upmarket chain, akin to Canada's Holt Renfrew chain, Britain's Selfridges stores and De Bijenkorf in Amsterdam which are also controlled by the Weston family.

The 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m²) Dublin Store on Grafton Street is the chain's flagship location. It includes boutiques for Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Gucci, Armani Cosmetics, Jo Malone, Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi Brown, Chanel, and the like. The store is split over 4 levels, with Menswear on the lower ground floor, the Beauty Hall and Accessories Hall on the Ground Floor, the Designer Rooms and Shoe Rooms on Level 1, Womenswear and Lingerie on Level 2 and the Living Department and the Children's Rooms on Level 3.

The stores appeal to a wide audience, selling both prêt-à-porter and haute couture clothing and accessories. The downstairs menswear section of the Dublin branch has been recently renovated. Ralph Lauren, Gant, Hugo Boss, Paul Smith, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada are some of the brands that can be found in the new men's basement area. Both the restaurant and cafe are now located together on the top floor of the store.

Previously connected to the Dublin branch was Aya Sushi Bar, on Clarendon Street. This was a conveyor sushi bar, and a stop here provided some respite from shopping in the area. This closed in January 2009. In May 2009 a branch of Yo-Sushi opened at the same location.
