Guineys
Michael Guiney's Ltd, more commonly known and referred to as Guiney's, is an Irish department store founded in June 1971. The store specialises in homewares, menswear, womenswear and children's clothing. They have 11 stores in the Republic of Ireland located in Dublin, Limerick, Waterford, Castlebar, Tralee, Cork, Clonmel, Mullingar, Kilkenny, and, as of December 2018, Castle Place in central Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is well known for having its two Dublin stores within sight of each other - one on North Earl Street and one on Talbot Street, which run directly into each other off O'Connell Street. The company was solely Dublin based from 1971 until 1992, when a branch in Cork was opened. Other branches followed in Tralee and Waterford.
The Limerick store was opened in late 2004, occupying the long vacant anchor tenancy of what was previously the Williamscourt Mall on William Street. The Castlebar store opened in December 2008. A store was opened in Clonmel in December 2013. Guiney's launched their online store in 2012 which delivers to homes and businesses in the Republic of Ireland, and the Mullingar and Kilkenny stores opened in 2015. The store that opened in December 2018 at Castle Place in central Belfast was the first Guiney's anywhere in the nine counties of Ulster.
