THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
"Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
"Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas."
The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
"Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England."
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
