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.

ADD a bold touch of Miami style to your garden for less – thanks to a chic Dunelm bistro set now going for half price in the clearance sale. And with its weather-resistant build, it'll last you right through the winter too. 2 The bistro set's powder-coated steel frame and weather-resistant rattan make it a smart choice all year round The Miami 2 Seater Bistro Set has been spotted online for just £64.50, down from £129 – and shoppers are loving the stylish look and value for money. Available at the set features two comfy chairs and a matching wooden-top coffee table, all in a sleek grey rattan design with contrasting tones to brighten up any patio or balcony. Based in the UK, Dunelm has become a go-to for affordable garden furniture – and this latest deal is no exception. The bistro set's powder-coated steel frame and weather-resistant rattan make it a smart choice all year round, even when the temperatures drop. One satisfied shopper raved: 'Looks so chic in our garden – love the contrast and quality. "Can't believe it was under £70!' It's compact enough to fit in smaller spaces, while still being practical for enjoying a coffee or glass of wine outdoors. You don't need a big garden to get big style. Most read in Fabulous And it's not the only garden gem that's turned heads recently. Earlier this summer, the Ibiza Hanging Egg Chair was reduced and flew off shelves, with fans calling it a 'dreamy garden must-have'. Dunelm Products The Seychelles Garden Sofa Set also saw praise for its clean design and comfy cushions, with shoppers saying it looked 'way more expensive than it is'. Other hot picks from Dunelm's outdoor range include the Sorrento 3-Piece Set, perfect for small gardens and balconies – also spotted at a bargain price in the clearance section. Dunelm shoppers have also been going wild over a sweet monkey-shaped garden ornament that's scanning at just 75p in store. Fans say it 'melted hearts across the UK' and adds a playful charm to any plant pot – all without spending more than a quid. But it's not just the little things getting attention. One savvy customer managed to snap up a sofa originally priced at £499 for just £49.90 – a whopping 90 per cent off – thanks to a small defect. The deal came from Dunelm's lesser-known 'Not So Great Condition' section, where shoppers have also grabbed stools and nest-of-tables at jaw-dropping discounts. 2 Dunelm has become a go-to for affordable garden furniture – and this latest deal is no exception

Banish flying ants from home with £5 B&M gadget this weekend – as tens of MILLIONS to take to skies in ‘massive swarm'
AS temperatures climb to 33C across the UK, early signs of flying ant season are already being spotted — and a £5 gadget from B&M is being hailed as a simple way to keep them out. One clever solution is already making waves online. 3 Most flying ants only live for a day or two after taking flight, which is why their tiny bodies often litter paths and pavements afterwards Credit: Getty 3 The £5 gadget could help stop them in their tracks One user took to Facebook to share the tip, posting: 'Magnetic insect door screen at B&M.' The £5 gadget could help stop them in their tracks. The screen fastens with Velcro tape around the doorframe and is held snug by a series of magnets along the centre seam. T his magnetic strip allows the screen to open and close effortlessly—step through and it snaps right back into place, keeping unwanted insects out without ever getting in your way . Read more Fabulous It sparked a wave of interest, with one user saying: 'I bought this and it helped.' Another wrote: 'I need to get this ASAP,' while a third added: 'I just use shower curtains.' Others tagged friends to spread the word as the country braces for Flying Ant Day, when millions of the pests take to the air in a huge mating swarm. The phenomenon is being reported across the UK, as the recent hot and humid conditions create ideal circumstances for the ants to emerge. Most read in Fabulous What are flying ants? These colonies can contain thousands of female worker ants and are ruled by a single queen. The winged ants spotted in summer are either new queens or males, taking part in their once-in-a-lifetime mating flight. Once mating is done, the queens lose their wings and begin the search for a place to establish a new colony. The larger ants you see walking around on their own afterwards are in fact these new queens, looking to start a nest. Although they may look alarming, flying ants are generally harmless to humans. They can cause Still, many people find the flying insects irritating, especially when they swarm indoors. One common home remedy is a simple mixture of washing-up liquid and water, sprayed directly onto the ants. Some suggest blending aspartame-based sweeteners with juice to create a sticky paste, which ants carry back to their nests, potentially reducing the population. Others opt for insecticidal powders, carefully applied around windows and doors to block their entry. The £5 magnetic insect screen from B&M, however, is proving to be a hit for many households. Easy to attach and remove, it creates a physical barrier over doorways while still allowing fresh air to flow through — ideal during the summer heat. Flying ants rarely bite, and even when they do, the NHS says the bites are 'generally harmless, although you'll probably feel a nip.' Their swarming typically happens during a short period in high summer known as Flying Ant Day. Despite the name, the event can stretch over several weeks depending on weather conditions. Most flying ants only live for a day or two after taking flight, which is why their tiny bodies often litter paths and pavements afterwards. 3 Although they may look alarming, flying ants are generally harmless to humans Credit: Getty

A WOMAN who lost 4 stone has shared how she gets her curves back in seconds. Joanne, from Scotland, took to social media to show off the clever buy which instantly changed her body shape. 2 Joanne was left gobsmacked by how well the leggings worked Credit: Tiktok/@jomacx 2 Since losing weight, Joanne said her bum went missing Credit: Tiktok/@jomacx In a video, Joanne said: "My a*se is like a deflated whoopee cushion. Have I got the right people continuing to watch? Hopefully so." Now she was speaking to people with the same weight loss problem, Joanne added: "My a*se has collapsed. "It's picked up and it's left. I've lost four stone and it's goodbye, see you later." Joanne said she had been told by multiple people to try the Halara leggings and finally caved in. READ MORE ON FASHION The leggings are specifically made to lift the bum and flatten the stomach with their ultrasculpt material. And the leggings which cost £22 on the TikTok shop are loved by many with a rating of 4.5 out of five. Even Joanna was a fan of the leggings as she put them on in the video and showed how they transformed her 'deflated whhoopee cushion' bum. She said: "They lift and sculpt everything and just keep it where it should be. It's like a scaffold for your bum." Most read in Fabulous Joanne was thrilled with the leggings which gave her bum a lift with no squats and sucked her tummy in. She added: "But if you're going to get them, which I suggest you do, make sure you have them in a variety of colours because when you go back to regular leggings, you're just going to be very disappointed." 'Gorgeous' cry fashion fans as shopper shows off Dunnes Stores haul The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @ People were quick to take to the comments, loving the shapewear. One person wrote: "You're looking amazing." Another commented: "Oh I need these." "You look amazing," penned a third. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Mine is sliding down my legs!" "That happened to me, I lost 3 stone and my a*se fainted,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "I'm going to need some scaffolding leggings, you look great regardless."
