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.

Pamela Anderson salutes 'sweetheart' Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson: 'You can't help but fall in love with Liam'

Pamela Anderson has saluted her "fantastic" Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson, telling a new behind-the-scenes video: "You can't help but fall in love with Liam." Anderson and Neeson's comedy reboot arrives in Irish cinemas on 1 August, when fans will be able to judge their screen chemistry for themselves. Neeson plays Lt Frank Drebin Jr, taking over the lead role from the late comedy legend Leslie Nielsen, who brought Lt Frank Drebin to bungling life in the 1982 series Police Squad! and the films The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991), and Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994). Anderson plays Neeson's love interest Beth - and revealed in the behind-the-scenes video that the prospect of working with the Ballymena man was daunting. "He's had such an incredible career, starting in theatre and just kind of being part of this acting royalty, from Schindler's List and all the other films he's done. So, it was intimidating," Anderson said of her Irish co-star. "I was afraid to meet him," she admitted. "I was literally shaking the first day I came to rehearse our first scene. "But once we got going... I mean, he's such a gentleman. He's such a sweetheart, and he's so giving and generous and was so complimentary and supportive." "You can't help but fall in love with Liam," she smiled. As for why she chose to star in a Naked Gun movie, Anderson explained: "I've just kind of restarted my career. "I did Broadway, and then I did The Last Showgirl, and I thought it would be a nice juxtaposition to do a high comedy after doing drama." "The fact that they even thought of me for this was so exciting," Anderson continued. "I love the Naked Guns. I thought that they were really funny. They're just such crazy, silly comedies. And I think the world needs that right now."

Tourist expects stunning panoramic view from his hotel window.. but leaves viewers speechless when he pulls back curtain

A TOURIST has left people in stitches after revealing the unique view he has from his hotel window.

However, one holidaymaker didn't get quite what he was expecting on a recent break. Brad Ben, from Dublin , recently took a trip to Galway, and spent his time there in a modern looking hotel room. Sharing a clip of the inside of his room on TikTok , Ben used the audio from the famous Jet 2 advert, narrated by Read more news stories It has become a popular trend in recent weeks to use the audio alongside a holiday ' fail '. In the video, Ben can be seen strutting across his hotel room, before opening up his thick floor length curtains. Where you would expect to see a large window, showing panoramic views, there was a teeny tiny square one, reminiscent of a ship's porthole. "Appreciating those views", he joked. Most read in The Sun The view has left people in hysterics, racking up an astronomical 239 million views on the video sharing platform. In a second video, Ben showed viewers what he could see through the window, placing his camera right up to the glass to show the Irish countryside opposite his hotel. People are only just realising who does the voice over for viral Jet2 advert From a distance, it looks like the window is a small painting on the wall. "She's giving Van Gogh", Ben Joked. TikTok users flooded the comments section of the video, to share their disbelief at the view. One person said: "Are you in jail?" Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it." Another said: "They have a nerve to put a curtain over that." A third person exclaimed: "I was not expecting this one bit." A fourth added: "I dunno what I was expecting but it deffo wasn't that window."
