Divas & Dudes is still Castleisland’s latest, children’s boutique to open its Main Street doors. Proprietor, Denise Bourke, who has many year’s experience in the fashion business, decided to take the plunge and open her own store there. That was last September.

Now, Denise and Lisa Geaney have joined forces and have bravely gone where no Castleisland based business has been for a while: They’re opening a branch in Castle Street in Tralee on this very evening at 6pm. They will remain open until 9pm tonight and are offering a ‘champagne preview’ of their fabulous collection with a 10% reduction to welcome their new customers.

“We want to offer something a bit different to your usual Ladies and Children’s boutique. We have worked very hard in sourcing top quality, exclusive labels at value prices. I’m a mother of four children ranging from 12 years to one-year-old so I have a good idea of what a mom is after. I’m delighted to be teaming up with Lisa. We set ourselves this goal in this time-frame and it’s all working out very well for us,” said Denise as the preparations for the new branch opening continued.

“Our new boutique in Tralee will also provide an area to entertain the kiddies while moms, aunts and grannies relax and shop in comfort,” said Denise.
“We’re also catering for baby gifts for boys and girls up to 14 years. And we’ll be constantly updating our stock to stay in step with the latest lines.

“We would like to thank our families, friends and the people of Castleisland and Tralee for their help and support in getting this new project off the ground.
All at Divas & Dudes are very excited about the move and are looking forward to strengthening our Castleisland base and meeting our new customers in Tralee tonight,” said Denise.
