Does Next still have stores?

Where are Next stores located?

  • Next operates physical stores across the UK, Ireland, Spain, and select international markets
  • Use the official Next Ireland store locator (brand’s own tool) to find branches worldwide
  • In Ireland, stores are present in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, and other major towns

What this means: Next has not gone fully online — physical retail remains core to its model, even as e-commerce grows.

How many stores does Next have?

  • Next operates at least 29 stores in Spain (Next Spain store locator (official site))
  • The company’s total store count is not broken out publicly by country, but the locator tools allow customers to verify individual branches

The catch: While Next gives customers a store locator, it does not publish a global store count — making it harder to compare its physical footprint versus competitors.

Do Next do online shopping?

How to order online from Next

  • Shop at Next UK (official website) for deliveries within the UK or Next Ireland (official website) for Irish addresses
  • Next offers next day delivery and free returns on most orders
  • Online orders can be returned to any Next store in the Republic of Ireland (excluding airport locations) with the delivery note (Next.ie Terms (official policy page))

The trade-off: Online convenience comes with a sustainability cost — 88% of Irish consumers say price matters most when choosing a retailer (Sustainability Online (consumer research platform)), so free delivery may trump eco-concerns for many.

What are the delivery options?

  • Standard delivery, next day delivery, and Click & Collect options are available
  • International shipping is offered from next.co.uk to many countries
  • Track your order via the Next website or app

The pattern: Next treats delivery speeds as a competitive advantage — but 60% of Irish consumers say they would avoid sellers that dodge recycling rules (Digital Business Ireland (business advocacy group)), putting pressure on Next’s packaging and returns processes.

Watch out

Third-party ratings like Good On You give Next a low ethical score for fashion, citing lack of certified organic cotton and poor worker welfare records. Relying solely on Next’s marketing may mislead sustainability-conscious shoppers.

Do they have Next in Dublin?

Next stores in Dublin city centre

  • Next has a store on Henry Street in Dublin city centre (flagship location)
  • Opened in 2023, the Henry Street store offers clothing, homeware, and Click & Collect services

Why this matters: Dublin’s Henry Street is one of Ireland’s busiest shopping thoroughfares — Next’s presence there signals commitment to Irish high street retail.

Does Dundrum have Next?

  • Yes, Dundrum Town Centre has a Next store
  • Dundrum is one of the largest shopping centres in Ireland, making it a key location for Next

The implication: Next uses both city centre and suburban mall locations to cover Dublin’s catchment area.

What county is Next to Dublin?

Next’s Henry Street store is in County Dublin (Dublin City). The company also has stores in adjacent counties such as Kildare and Meath.

Do Next have stores in Spain?

How many Next stores are in Spain?

The pattern: Spain is Next’s largest continental European market, with a focus on prime shopping destinations.

Where can I find Next in Spain?

  • Use the Next Spain store locator to search by city or region
  • Many Spanish stores are in shopping centres such as La Maquinista (Barcelona) and La Vaguada (Madrid)

What this means: Next replicates its UK mall strategy in Spain — anchoring in big retail parks rather than standalone high street units.

What is the 3-3-3 rule for clothes?

What is the 30 wear rule?

  • The 30 wear rule encourages shoppers to consider whether an item can be worn at least 30 times before buying
  • It’s a personal benchmark to reduce impulse purchases and fast fashion waste

The catch: While Next promotes responsible consumption, the The Good Shopping Guide (ethical rating body) gives Next a low ethical rating for fashion retailers, citing lack of certified organic cotton and poor worker welfare records.

How do these rules apply to fashion sustainability?

  • Both rules aim to shift mindset from “how cheap?” to “how many wears?”
  • Next publishes a comprehensive Environmental Report with Science Based Targets, but does not aggregate sustainability metrics for shoppers
  • 54% of Irish consumers believe brands should reverse environmental damage (Sustainability Online (consumer research platform)) — a gap Next has yet to directly address in marketing

The trade-off: Next’s own sustainability reporting exists, but shoppers rely on third-party ratings to gauge real impact.

How to find a Next store near you

  1. Go to the official Next Ireland store locator (official tool) or Next UK store locator (official tool)
  2. Enter your city, postcode, or current location
  3. Browse results with opening hours, services, and directions
  4. Check for Click & Collect availability at your chosen store
The upshot

Irish consumers want both convenience and sustainability from retailers. Next offers flexibility with free returns in-store, but its low ethical rating means shoppers should verify claims independently before assuming eco-friendliness.

Following these steps will help you locate a Next store quickly and choose the best shopping method.

Clarity check

Confirmed facts

  • Next has stores in Dublin (Henry Street, Dundrum), UK, and Spain (29 locations) (official store locator)
  • Online shopping is available via next.co.uk and next.ie with next day delivery (Next UK official site)
  • Next allows returns of online orders to any ROI store (excl. airports) (Next.ie Terms)
  • 62% of Irish consumers believe retailers should offer incentives for sustainable products (Sustainability Online)
  • 81% of Irish respondents have engaged with the Deposit Return Scheme (Sustainability Online)
  • Next publishes an Environmental Report with Science Based Targets (The Good Shopping Guide)

What’s unclear

  • Exact total number of Next stores globally not publicly disclosed (store locator shows individual branches)
  • Next’s organic cotton usage and specific worker welfare improvements are not detailed in aggregate
  • Good On You rates Next for using some recycled materials but gives no full breakdown (Good On You)
  • The 3-3-3 rule and 30-wear rule are personal guidelines, not official Next policies

These clarifications help shoppers make informed decisions about Next’s physical and digital presence.

“62% of Irish consumers believe retailers should offer incentives or discounts for sustainable products” — reflecting strong demand for tangible eco-rewards.

Sustainability Online (consumer research platform)

“60% of Irish consumers would not buy from online sellers dodging recycling responsibilities” — signalling that shoppers are voting with their wallets on sustainability.

Digital Business Ireland (business advocacy group)

For Irish shoppers, the choice is clear: Next offers convenience across physical and digital channels, but sustainability-conscious buyers must look beyond marketing and rely on third-party ratings and their own wear-count rules to make informed purchases.
