A Rich History of Dunnes Stores

Founded in 1944 in Cork, Dunnes Stores quickly became a beloved shopping destination. The first store opened on Patrick Street, attracting crowds eager for quality clothing at pre-war prices. The excitement surrounding the store led to a chaotic scene, as shoppers rushed to find deals, prompting police intervention to control the crowd.

As the retailer expanded, it began selling groceries in 1960, starting with basic fruits like apples and oranges. Dunnes Stores emphasized the importance of value, stating, “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.” Over the decades, the selection of foods has broadened, maintaining the commitment to quality and affordability.

Dunnes Stores opened its first Dublin location in 1957 on Henry Street, followed by a superstore on South Great Georges Street in 1960. The brand continued to grow, opening its first Northern Irish store in 1971, and later expanding to Spain, Scotland, and England.

Today, Dunnes operates 142 stores across various regions and employs approximately 15,000 people. The company has cultivated a loyal customer base, driven by its dedication to providing quality products at competitive prices. With the introduction of new clothing lines such as the knit dress and barrel jeans, Dunnes Stores continues to attract attention in the fashion market, reinforcing its legacy as a staple in the retail industry.
