The company, which is privately owned, is intensely proud of the fact that it is an Irish company with a primarily Irish customer base.

The guiding principles of the company are to provide its customers with a choice of good quality products at competitive prices. These principles are encapsulated in the words "Better Value" for which Dunnes Stores has become famous.

A combination of Food, Textiles and Homewares all under one roof makes Dunnes Stores unique amongst Irish retail companies.

The new format, 22,000 sq ft, store in Rathdowney opened on 27th October 2005 and offers a ‘one stop shop’ for all your daily needs.
