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.

Robbie Henshaw wows Mayo pub with accordion tunes
Irish and Leinster rugby star Robbie Henshaw has shown he is a man of many talents after he broke out the button accordion in a pub over the weekend. The rugby international was dressed in a Fred Flinstone-inspired costume when he popped into Dohertys Bar, Mulranny in Westport. Due to the costume, which some of his peers were also wearing, it is thought he was at a Stag Do in the Mayo town. Irish and Leinster rugby star Robbie Henshaw has shown he is a man of many talents after he broke out the button accordion in a pub over the weekend. Pic: TikTok The 32-year-old was videoed sitting at the bar, with a pint of Guinness behind him, as he played a tune on the instrument. The Athlone man was accompanied by what sounded like a tin whistle before another person began singing along. Dohertys Bar, who were hosting the stag do, took to social media to share a clip of the brilliant tune. @dohertysbarmulranny We were thrilled to welcome Irish Rugby international and Leinster star Robbie Henshaw today — and who better to treat us to a few tunes on the box! #music #irishrugby #robbiehenshaw #ireland #mulranny #rugby ♬ original sound – Dohertysbarmulranny 'We were thrilled to welcome Irish Rugby international and Leinster star Robbie Henshaw today — and who better to treat us to a few tunes on the box!' they wrote alongside the minute-long video. Social media users took to the comments full of praise regarding Robbie's musical capabilities. One shared: 'Robbie's dad plays in Killeen's pub and restaurant in Shannonbridge, Co Offaly. The craic is always sensational.' The Athlone man was accompanied by what sounded like a tin whistle before another person began singing along. Pic: TikTok Another praised: 'Talented man.' A third wondered: 'So… um… none of us are questioning why they're in Fred Flinstones? Ok so…' It is unknown who's stag Robbie was on, however it certainly wasn't his own as he celebrated his one year anniversary to wife Sophie Marren earlier in the year. The couple tied the knot at the five-star Cashel Palace Hotel in Tipperary on March 21, 2024, with Sophie taking to social media this year to share how they were marking their one-year anniversary. Heading back to where they first became husband and wife, Sophie shared a snap showing two cocktails sitting on the bar alongside the caption 'back to our happy place.' Just a month after the monumental occasion, Sophie took to TikTok to give fans a glimpse behind the scenes at their big day.

Irish groom's funeral-style wedding entrance has the internet in stitches
An Irish groom has had social media users in stitches for staging a short funeral just before he was set to tie the knot with his other half. Gravedigger Mick Doyle arrived to his wedding venue in a make-shift coffin, which was on the back of a tractor and trailer and featured a priest sitting down in front saying his prayers. The wedding took place recently in Gorey, Co Wexford with Mick having the craic due to his job as a gravedigger. Gravedigger Mick Doyle arrived to his wedding venue in a make-shift coffin, which was on the back of a tractor and trailer and featured a priest sitting down in front saying his prayers. Pic: TikTok The groom tied the knot to his partner, Joyce, with footage of his crafty arrival shared via social media. 'My pal who is a gravedigger, getting married in Gorey, Co Wexford,' a wedding attendee shared to TikTok, with a number of people taking to the comments to express their appreciation at the humour. A sign hung from the trailer which joked: 'You've dug your own grave today, Mick.' @tommybreen100 ♬ original sound – Tommy 'Irish sense of humour is unbeaten,' one person wrote, with another adding: 'No stop that's too funny, this sense of humour is life! They're all dying to get a look at that.' A third commended: 'That's class no one would ever be able to top that arrival.' Others joked that the funeral was more than just a bit of craic about Mick's job, but was his way of lamenting the end of single life. 'I love it, it's the funeral of a single man who now has a newer life,' someone wrote. Another TikTok user added: 'That was an entrance with a difference, only the Irish would come up with something like that.' It comes not long after a couple shared a glimpse inside their Galway city wedding last month which was branded 'the most glamorous wedding' the city ever saw. Alex and Teresa Burke celebrated their big day, with their own show-stopping entrance turning heads across Galway. The young couple arrived to their ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage, followed by a fleet of four sleek Bentley limousines. The loved-up couple are said to have enjoyed a private boat tour as part of their post-ceremony celebrations before rejoining their guests to party the night away.
