The store at Blessington Road, Naas
A second well known clothing retailer has shut up shop in Naas - but maintains a presence at an out of town retail centre.
Born Clothing is no longer operating in the store adjacent to Tesco at Blessington Road in the town.

Born has a second operation at the Tesco-owned Monread Shopping Centre and opened this before the Blessington Road unit was launched.
The now closed 6,100 square foot premises opened four and half years ago around the end of 2020.
The site previously hosted the only Penneys store in Naas, which itself closed in April 2015.
At the time Penneys said that its much larger Newbridge store (49,400 square feet of selling space) would provide a “better customer experience and a better staff environment.”
Apart from Monread, Naas, Born also has shops in Sligo, Killarney, Portlaoise, Loughrea, Galway, Dungarvan, Limerick, Tuam, Athlone and Carrick-on-Shannon.
The closure follows the decision by Intersport Elverys to cease trading at South Main Street, Naas.
IE also has a store at the Monread shopping complex.
Born was contacted for comment.
