After months of anticipation, and just days after the toy turned 90, the doors have swung open on the first ever LEGO Store in Ireland.
This is store number 898 in the franchise with the company hoping to open 986 globally by the end of this year.
Located in the heart of Dublin at 41 Grafton Street, we can confirm the LEGO Store will be a delight to fans, both young and old after we were treated to a very special VIP preview.

An exciting collection of sets and experiences are on offer including a LEGO Minifigure Factory that allows visitors to design and create a unique LEGO Minifigure.
There is also a Digibox where people can scan a product box and see how it’s constructed from the very start on a screen right in front of them.
And visitors will see eye-catching 3D LEGO models throughout the store inspired by the city of Dublin and Irish culture including Siobhan the camogie player who talks!
The brand-new LEGO store is offering the full range of exciting new products only available direct from LEGO stores including the likes of LEGO Icons Atari 2600 and LEGO Icons Lion Knights’ Castle.
