A Look Back at Dunnes Stores’ History

Founded in 1944 with its first store on Patrick Street in Cork, Dunnes Stores quickly became a beloved retailer. The opening sparked a shopping frenzy among locals eager to purchase quality clothing at prices that appealed to the post-war market. The excitement surrounding the launch led to a significant response, requiring police intervention to manage the crowds.

Over the years, Dunnes Stores expanded its offerings, initially incorporating groceries in 1960 with basic fruits. The retailer has since evolved its food selection to include a wide range of products sourced from both local Irish suppliers and international markets.

The first store in Dublin opened in 1957 on Henry Street, followed by a superstore on South Great George’s Street in 1960. Expansion efforts continued, leading to the opening of stores in Northern Ireland in 1971, as well as in Spain, Scotland, and England in subsequent decades. Today, Dunnes Stores operates 142 locations and employs approximately 15,000 people, remaining committed to its founding principle of providing better value to customers.
