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.

Stranger than fiction: Hollywood hookups we can't believe actually happened

If there's one thing more unpredictable than a pop chart in the age of TikTok, it's celebrity romance. Hollywood has always loved a plot twist, but even the most clued-in pop culture commentators did a collective double take this week when Katy Perry was spotted dining with none other than Justin Trudeau. Yes, that Justin Trudeau, the recently single former Prime Minister of Canada. Following her public split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom, Perry appeared relaxed and radiant alongside Trudeau at cozy Montreal restaurant Le Violon. If there's one thing more unpredictable than a pop chart in the age of TikTok, it's celebrity romance. Pic:. The photo's sparked a flurry of speculation, memes, and international intrigue. It's not every day a pop superstar and an ex-world leader get cozy, but here we are. While reps for both parties did not immediately respond to a request for comment, the internet has done anything but stay quiet. Honestly, who can blame us? It's a pairing no algorithm or celebrity publicist could've predicted, but stranger things have happened in tinseltown. In honor of this eyebrow-raising rendezvous, we're taking a look back at the strangest celebrity romantic pairings that made us ask: How did this happen… and why do I kind of love it? Following her public split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom, Perry appeared relaxed and radiant alongside Trudeau at cozy Montreal restaurant Le Violon. Pic: Justin Tang/The Canadian Press via AP In early January 2023, Angelina Jolie and her teenage daughter Shiloh were spotted enjoying a cozy coffee break with Irish actor Paul Mescal at the café adjacent to London's Almeida Theatre, where he was starring in A Streetcar Named Desire. Jolie had brought Shiloh to see Mescal's performance and, afterward, the trio sat together chatting, prompting immediate buzz of an unlikely Hollywood pairing. Despite tabloid speculation linking the two romantically amid Mescal's rumored split from Phoebe Bridgers, insiders quickly clarified that the meeting was purely platonic. Still, the image of Jolie and the Normal People star sipping coffee together remains one of the more unexpected celebrity crossovers of the year.

The avant-garde art-pop musician and the tech billionaire reportedly connected over a shared joke on Twitter in 2018, and the rest was history. What followed was three oddly named off spring Æ A-12 initially before the couple announced a 'semi-separation' in 2021. They then went on to have two more children—Exa Dark Sideræl (via surrogate) and Techno Mechanicus. Honestly we're exhausted trying to figure them out. Few celebrity pairings have melted brains and ignited Reddit threads quite like Grimes and Elon Musk. Pic: Dia Dipasupil/WireImage Before Rihanna was a billionaire mogul and mom of two, and before Shia LaBeouf leaned fully into his chaotic performance-artist era, the two shared one of the most blink-and-you-missed-it flings in celebrity dating history. In a 2009 interview, LaBeouf revealed that he and Rihanna went on a date after she texted him first, her team had reportedly passed along his number, and curiosity did the rest. The two met up for drinks and dinner in Los Angeles, but according to Shia, 'the spark wasn't there,' and they both agreed to keep it friendly. While it ended with zero drama and minimal headlines, the image of Rihanna sipping a cocktail across from LaBeouf in 2007 remains one of the most deliciously unlikely what-ifs in pop culture lore.

Whitby/Getty Images Long before he was jumping on Oprah's couch or hanging from the side of a moving plane for Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise was actually one of Cher's post-divorce flings. The year was 1985, and Cruise was a rising star fresh off Risky Business, while Cher was already a music and film icon with nothing to prove. They met at Sean Penn and Madonna's wedding and reconnected at a White House event for dyslexia awareness, where sparks quietly flew. 'It was a great romance,' Cher later said in interviews, even ranking Cruise in her 'top five' lovers. The age gap (she was 38, he was 23), the fame mismatch, and the pure oddity of the pairing made it one of Hollywood's most delicious secrets for years.
