THE UK frozen food retailer, Iceland, has paid about £650,000 for 10,000 square feet in a new two-storey retail building at Lefanu Road, Ballyfermot, Dublin 10. Iceland is also to open shortly in Dun Laoghaire, where it paid about £750,000 for a former Atlantic Homecare store in Lower George's Street. Iceland has about 750 retail outlets in the UK.
