Dunnes Stores

Dunnes Stores is an Irish multinational retail chain that primarily sells food, clothes and household wares. It was founded by Ben Dunne in 1944. In addition to its main customer base in Ireland, the chain also has operations in Spain. The format of most of the chain's shops in Ireland involves a grocery supermarket operating alongside a clothing/textiles shop, although some shops contain only textiles and some contain only a supermarket. The grocery side of the business does not operate outside of Ireland, save for a limited grocery range in the Spanish shops and Northern Ireland. The larger shops usually contain a café branded as either Café Sol or Dunnes Stores Café.
