Abercrombie & Fitch to make Northern Ireland debut at Belfast’s Victoria Square

Abercrombie & Fitch is set to open its first store in Northern Ireland at Victoria Square in Belfast.

Opening later this year, the store will be located on the scheme’s upper ground floor, in between LEGO and Sephora, the latter of which made its debut within the island of Ireland in February. The fashion retailer will also join its sister brand Hollister at the destination.

The signing follows a busy leasing year at Victoria Square. In 2025, the scheme welcomed over 51,000 sq ft of new retailers, with Space NK, Bershka, LEGO, and Sephora all joining the centre. The scheme also welcomed a relocation and upsize for PULL&BEAR.

Julie King, senior asset manager at Commerz Real, said: “The signing of Abercrombie & Fitch showcases Victoria Square as a key location for retail brands and is a result of the immense success we built throughout 2025. This signing builds on this momentum, creating more jobs, driving additional footfall, and amplifying brand confidence and interest in Victoria Square.”

Abercrombie & Fitch will add to Victoria Square’s existing retail line-up, which includes AllSaints, Superdry, Reiss, and The White Company. As well as its retail offer, the destination is home to a range of beauty and cosmetic brands, such as Rituals, Sculpted by Aimee, and M.A.C.
